Arsenal eye brave transfer for Wolves star Matheus Cunha in 2025
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta revealed that the club does not rule out making signings in January. With the recent injury setbacks suffered by Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling, it's not hard to see why the Gunners could do some business in the winter, especially when acquiring a striker is already high on their priority list.

Although the sale of Cunha could happen at some point next year, it is unlikely that they will be in a position to consider offers for him in January given they will be in a relegation battle until the end of the campaign.

It remains to be seen how much exactly they are willing to spend in January as well.
Arsenal's need for a striker is well documented and it would be a huge benefit if a newcomer could act as understudy to Bukayo Saka in addition to being the number nine, but Mikel Arteta You may have to wait until summer to find a suitable profile.
