According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal are among a host of top Premier League clubs eyeing a move for Wolves' forward Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward has been in great form this season, contributing to 7 goals and 3 assists despite Wolves' struggles in the league.
 

Wolves' dismal run of form, which has seen them slump to 19th in the Premier League table, has alerted several top clubs to Cunha's availability. Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester United, and Tottenham are all believed to be monitoring the 25-year-old's situation, with a view to making a move in the near future.

Cunha's impressive statistics make a compelling case for his signature. Averaging 2 dribbles per game and 3.04 shots per 90, he has consistently demonstrated his ability to create chances and threaten opposition defenses. His tactical versatility is another significant asset, with Cunha capable of playing behind a striker as an attacking midfielder, as well as in various other roles, including striker and on both wings.

Arsenal's interest in Cunha is likely driven by their desire to bolster their attacking options and provide additional support to their frontline. With the likes of Gabriel Jesus already on the books and his potential departure, Cunha's arrival would provide Mikel Arteta with a new dimension to his attack, as well as increased competition for places.

However, with several other top clubs also in the running, Arsenal will need to move quickly and decisively if they are to secure Cunha's signature. The Brazilian's impressive form and versatility make him a highly coveted asset, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can persuade him to join them.
