Arsenal bound?! Matheus Cunha ready to 'take the next step' as Brazilian says he has 'made it clear' to Wolves that he wants summer transfer

Cunha was the subject of January interest from Arsenal but he eventually signed a new contract at Wolves, although his deal is reported to contain a release clause worth £62 million ($80m). That has alerted clubs such as the Gunners, Liverpool and Chelsea to his availability, and he has now claimed he is ready to move in the summer.

Wolves were deep in relegation trouble during the January window, but they are now 17th and are nine points clear of Ipswich Town in 18th. It would take a remarkable collapse for them to be relegated; Cunha is keeping them afloat, scoring 13 league goals in 26 games.

Speaking to The Guardian, Cunha said: “I had a lot of offers, but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it. Some things you can’t contro,l but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.

“Now, we’re close to achieving our goal [of staying up]. But I’ve made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential.”

Wolves play West Ham on Tuesday. It remains to be seen where Cunha will move in the summer, but it seems he won't stay for long at Molineux.
