Talks have been undertaken by Arsenal to learn more about the circumstances surrounding Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha, who has also been considered by Manchester United along with other elite teams. The in-form Brazil international has caught the attention of Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa due to his impressive performances at Molineux, according to sources with direct knowledge of Cunha's circumstances who spoke to CaughtOffside.

In addition, Serie A powerhouses AC Milan and Napoli are showing some interest from outside, although Wolves also intend to extend Cunha's contract. Despite earlier claims that United was interested in Cunha, it now appears that Arsenal might have taken action to outbid the Red Devils for his services. It will be intriguing to see whether the Gunners' recent contacts seeking details on the 25-year-old result in anything more specific in the coming weeks and months.

Will Matheus Cunha accept a new deal at Wolverhampton Wanderers?

Wolves, however, are clear that they are reluctant to let Cunha leave, and it is said that they are getting ready to make the player an offer. Over the years, Wolves has let go of some big names like Diogo Jota, Ruben Neves, and Matheus Nunes, but they will undoubtedly want to grow as a team and persuade elite players to stay with them for a longer period of time. Cunha will now have the opportunity to renew his current deal at Molineux until 2029, even if he clearly seems good enough for teams like Manchester United or Arsenal.

We'll have to wait and see whether Cunha accepts Wolves' offer, but if not, Arsenal may be a contender to recruit him. Cunha is starting to emerge as one of the Premier League's best offensive players, and Mikel Arteta would be wise to get someone up front to replace Kai Havertz. Additionally, the Brazilian would undoubtedly be a better option at Old Trafford than the struggling attackers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
