As the January transfer window swings open, football clubs across the Premier League are strategizing to strengthen their squads. Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has openly acknowledged that his team lacks depth, prompting the club to explore potential signings. Nottingham Forest has already shown interest by making a bid for Brentford's Yoane Wissa. Meanwhile, Wolves face mounting pressure with offers swirling around their talented forward, Matheus Cunha.
Arsenal, seeking to bolster their attacking options, has expressed interest in Yoane Wissa. However, Brentford remains reluctant to part with the player, valuing him higher than Forest's current offer. In a bid to navigate the transfer market shrewdly, Arsenal is also considering permanent moves for players like Neto or Sterling to free up a domestic loan spot.
Despite the interest from clubs like Nottingham Forest and Arsenal, Wolves remain resolute in their stance to retain Matheus Cunha. The club has reiterated that Cunha is not for sale during this transfer window. Nonetheless, speculation continues as Nottingham Forest prepares a club-record bid for the forward, who still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract.
The situation with Matheus Cunha is further complicated by his recent discontent after being singled out for criticism by manager Vitor Pereira following Wolves' defeat at Chelsea. Cunha's contribution is deemed vital as Wolves prioritize Premier League safety, especially after generating over £90 million from player sales last summer.
Manchester City, another club interested in Cunha, has shifted its focus elsewhere. The team opted to sign Omar Marmoush instead, leaving the door ajar for other suitors. While an offer of around £60 million might tempt Wolves to reconsider, their primary goal remains securing their position in the Premier League.
