Transfer blow for Arsenal as Forest ready to make club-record offer for Wolves attacker | OneFootball

Arsenal are looking to add a quality forward in the January transfer window after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to serious injuries.

The Gunners are are reportedly interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha.

However, Nottingham Forest have also entered the transfer race and are ready to make a club-record offer to sign the Brazil international, per Sky Sports.

Wolves have no intention to lose their prized asset midway through the season. But an offer worth around £60 million could tempt them into selling.

With two-and-a-half-years remaining on Cunha’s contract, Wolves are relaxed about the situation.

They are not under financial pressure to sell the forward following the transfers of Max Kilman and Pedro Neto last summer.

Cunha is in high demand

Cunha was relatively unknown when he first came to Wolves in January 2023 on a loan deal with an obligation-to-buy clause.

He has delivered consistently good performances for the Midlands club since joining them.

Despite playing in a struggling team, Cunha has scored 10 goals in 21 top-flight appearances this season.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in him.

However, a January transfer is unlikely to happen, as Wolves are clearly not interested in selling.
