The Brazilian forward is keen to compete for the Premier League title and believes Arsenal offers the best opportunity to do so.
What Cunha Brings to Arsenal
Cunha is not a traditional striker, often drifting to collect the ball in pockets of space on the left.
He has a proven track record of producing goals and assists, with 10 goals and four assists in the Premier League this season.
While he has overperformed his expected goals figure, Cunha’s ability to carry the ball and create opportunities for his teammates could be a valuable asset for Arsenal.
Impact on Arsenal’s Title Hopes
With key attackers Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus set to miss out on action for months, Cunha’s potential arrival could provide a much-needed boost to Arsenal’s title hopes.
While it’s difficult to see how Arsenal can overhaul Liverpool’s lead, Cunha could be a dangerous weapon in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
Cunha’s Potential Role in Arsenal’s Success
Cunha’s ball-carrying abilities and vision could help Arsenal quickly turn defense into attack, exploiting high lines and creating opportunities for the likes of Gabriel Martinelli.
With Arsenal’s resilience in defense and Cunha’s attacking prowess, the Gunners could become a formidable force in the Champions League.
