Arsenal are joined by 3 more Premier League clubs in the pursuit of their top target. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reporter some key updates about the transfer saga in the final days of January window.
The star in question here is Wolves forward Mathues Cunha. The Brazilian has been long term target for the North London club. Due to the injuries and shortage in final third, Gunners are in need to sign some attackers this month. Cunha is their top priority due to his amazing form this season.
The 25 year old has scored 10 goals and picked 4 assists in 21 league games. He is the backbone of Wolves and the reason they are avoiding relegation zone with a fine margin. Wolves are unwilling to sell him this month but the deal can still happen.
Cunha is yet to sign contract extension with Wolves. The talks had already happened and it was reported that terms were agreed. However, the Brazilian can still be on the move as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Arsenal joined by 3 Premier League clubs in the race for Matheus Cunha
Fabrizio Romano once again reported that Cunha can leave Wolves in January. He added that there is still no green light for new contract. Lastly, he said that Arsenal are still keen but are joined by 3 other English clubs in the race.
Earlier it was reported that any interested club will need to pay as high as £80 million to lure Cunha away from Wolves. This can be the only turn-off in the potential deal. It will be interesting to see if Gunners are able to land the Brazilian.
On the other hand, Gunners have held informal talks with Igor Jesus. They are plotting a move for the Botafogo striker as a replacement for Gabriel Jesus who will miss as much as 9 months of football due to ACL injury.
