Arsenal are exploring a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha over a possible move to the Emirates in January transfer window, according Soccer insider information.
After initially joining on loan before securing a permanent move in the summer, Wolves fans can attest to the fact that the Brazil international has justified his price tag after becoming the club's most expensive player. In the current season, Cunha has been one of the bright lights in Wolves' dismal campaign so far, scoring ten goals and providing four assists in 19 appearances for the West Midlands club.
His form has caught the attention of Arsenal as Soccer insider information claims the Gunners are now “pushing” to secure the 25-year-old's signature before the winter transfer window ends on February 3.
However, with Wolves in a relegation battle, the report claims the club will be hesitant to let their key player leave this month, making it difficult for the Gunners to secure his signature.
The Brazilian striker is under contract at the Molineux Stadium until 2027, so Arsenal may have to submit a bid worth significantly more than their €50m (£41m). Transfer market valuation to convince Wolves to sell.

The Gunners lost talisman Bukayo Saka last month after suffering a hamstring injury that required surgery, keeping him out of competition for at least two months.
Gabriel Martinelli has filled in well in the Englishman's absence, while youngster Ethan Nwaneri has also shown that he has a bright future ahead of him.
On the other hand, Gabriel Jesus seems to have found his scoring boots, as he is currently enjoying his best scoring streak in over a year, but Mikel Arteta He still needs more reinforcements.
A move for Cunha would make a lot of sense and the Brazilian's qualities and what he would bring to the Emirates Stadium if he joins cannot be denied.
Despite Wolves' poor form, his ten goals are more than any other Arsenal striker this season, with Kai Havertz being the closest with seven goals this season.
His goalscoring threat, along with his hard work off the ball, as well as his excellent combination play, are some of his greatest attributes and Cunha would be an excellent addition to the Arsenal squad if they could agree a deal.
