Wolverhampton Wanderers have turned their attention towards the summer window and now have a versatile star on their radar that could be available for a modest fee, according to a report.
Wolverhampton Wanderers enter life without Matheus Cunha
Vitor Pereira deserves immense credit for preserving Wolves' top-flight status since arriving at Molineux. However, the 56-year-old will be the first to admit that their successful survival mission wouldn't have been possible without Matheus Cunha.
The Brazil international netted 15 goals in 33 Premier League appearances, all from open play, which will heighten the importance of finding a replacement for the classy forward amid his £62.5 million move to Manchester United.

In the midst of their hunt for reinforcements, Wolves are considering bringing former Al Shabab sporting director Domenico Teti to Molineux as part of a shake-up in their recruitment department.
Matt Hobbs has left the club and talks are underway to secure the 48-year-old as their new technical director. He has also occupied roles at Verona, Sampdoria, Lugano and Apoel Nicosia and would arrive with a vast knowledge of European and Asian markets.
Old Gold full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri appears set for a move to Manchester City, leading Wolves to pursue Brondby youngster Clement Bischoff as a direct successor due to his versatility across the left flank.

The Old Gold are making moves for the future...
Despite avoiding the drop, the summer window will be one of change for Pereira's men. Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss is also on their radar; nevertheless, it remains to be seen how the landscape lies when it comes to new faces in the West Midlands.
Now, another exciting figure who could help replace Cunha's end product has come to the attention of the Wolves hierarchy, per recent reports.
Wolves battling to sign Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche
According to reports in Spain via Sport Witness, Wolves are in a three-way battle to sign Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche, who can also feature as a second striker or centre-forward.
Leeds United and Brentford are also keen on the Nigeria international - he has a release clause in his current deal at the La Liga side that can be triggered for £21 million this summer.

Dubbed "fabulous" by boss Jose Bordelas, the 22-year-old registered four goals and seven assists in 38 appearances across all competitions this term.
Earning international recognition for the first time this year, Uche is clearly a rising star and has previously been tracked by Chelsea due to his progress.
Cunha's departure may mean that more than one solution is required to replicate his influence at Molinuex, but Wolves supporters can take solace from the fact that they are already scoping out the market for quality reinforcements.
