Arteta Remains Tight-Lipped on Arsenal’s Interest in Matheus Cunha

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has refused to comment on speculation linking the club with a move for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. When asked about the Brazilian’s potential transfer to the Emirates, Arteta replied, “I prefer not to talk about individuals.”

This response is typical of Arteta, who tends to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to transfer targets. However, reports suggest that Arsenal are indeed interested in signing Cunha, who has been impressive for Wolves this season.

Cunha’s Impressive Form

The 23-year-old forward has scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 21 Premier League appearances, taking his overall tally for Wolves to 25 goals and 12 assists. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability have made him a coveted asset in the transfer market.

Arsenal’s Need for Attacking Reinforcements

Arsenal’s interest in Cunha is likely driven by their need for attacking reinforcements, particularly with Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka sidelined with injuries. The club’s attacking options have been depleted in recent weeks, and Arteta may see Cunha as a viable solution to bolster his team’s attacking prowess.

Transfer Speculation Continues

While Arteta’s comments may have poured cold water on the speculation surrounding Cunha’s potential transfer, the rumors are unlikely to subside. With the January transfer window still open, Arsenal may yet make a move for the Brazilian forward or explore other options to strengthen their attack.

Only time will tell if Cunha will join Arsenal or remain at Wolves. One thing is certain, however: Arteta’s coy response has only added fuel to the transfer speculation surrounding the Brazilian forward.
