Wolves will have some big boots to fill if their star man departs
Wolves are back in action this weekend with a home clash against Everton. Vitor Pereira’s side lost 2-1 at home to Fulham in their last Premier League outing.
They were then beaten on penalties by fellow top flight side AFC Bournemouth in the FA Cup last time out. The Midlands outfit will be eager to return to winning ways against the Toffees as they look to climb further away from the drop zone.

Wolves are currently sat in 17th position in the table. They are five points above the bottom three with 11 fixtures left to play.
AI predicts Wolves replacements for Matheus Cunha
We have asked Grok to predict five players who Wolves could sign to replace Matheus Cunha if he were to leave down the line. Here are the answers...
1. Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP)
AI has said: “Gyökeres has been a prolific striker in Portugal, scoring 43 goals in 50 appearances in the 2023/24 season and continuing his form into 2024/25. His physicality, finishing, and ability to link play make him a strong candidate to fill Cunha’s shoes. At 26, he’s entering his prime and could thrive in the Premier League.”
2. Evanilson (Bournemouth)
AI has said: “The 24-year-old Brazilian impressed in the Primeira Liga with his pace, dribbling, and clinical finishing, scoring 17 goals in 27 league games in 2023/24. His flair and ability to play across the front line echo Cunha’s unpredictability.”
3. Goncalo Ramos (PSG)

AI has said: “The 23-year-old Portuguese striker has struggled for regular minutes at PSG behind Kylian Mbappé (now departed) and others, but his 11 goals in 18 Ligue 1 starts in 2023/24 show his potential. His movement and finishing could replicate Cunha’s impact.”
4. Santiago Gimenez (AC Milan)
AI has said: “The Mexican striker was a goal machine in the Eredivisie, scoring 23 goals in 32 games in 2023/24 and maintaining a strong output into 2024/25. His predatory instincts and physical presence make him aviable Cunha successor.”
5. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)
AI has said: “The Englishman offers Premier League experience, aerial dominance, and a proven goal record when fit (e.g., 16 goals in 2020/21). His contract expires in 2025, potentially making him a bargain.”
What was said after Wolves’ last game?
Wolves will want to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat at Bournemouth. Speaking after the tie, Pereira said: “It was a very tough game with a lot of limitations, injury limitations, yellow cards, and facing a team that was physically strong, playing football physically with long balls. With balls in the space, second balls and they are they are they are good in this in this in this way of play.

“We competed until the last minute, until the last penalty. It means that, in the end of the day, I'm proud of my team. With the injury of Bellegarde, injury of Doherty, injury of Munetsi, injury of Cunha, the Joao yellow card and the Nelson yellow card. It's too many things. In the end, we missed the penalty, but we competed and I'm proud of my players.”
