Arsenal’s pursuit of Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Matheus Cunha has been given a significant boost, as reports emerge that his new contract contains a £62m release clause.
This development could pave the way for Mikel Arteta to sign the Brazilian forward in the summer transfer window.
Cunha’s Impressive Form
Cunha has been in exceptional form for Wolves this season, scoring 11 goals from just 5.2 expected goals (xG).
His impressive finishing ability and creativity on the pitch could provide a significant upgrade to Arsenal’s attacking options.
Addressing Arsenal’s Attacking Woes
Kai Havertz’s inconsistent form has been a concern for Arsenal fans, and the German forward’s struggles in high-profile matches have been particularly evident.

Cunha’s calmness in front of goal could help the Gunners win more closely contested matches and potentially push them towards their first piece of silverware since the 2020 FA Cup.
Injury Crisis at Arsenal
Arsenal’s attacking woes have been compounded by injuries to key players, including Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Jesus.
With Martinelli set to miss over a month of action, Arteta’s attacking options are severely limited.
Cunha: A Potential Game-Changer for Arsenal
While there are no guarantees that Cunha would have led Arsenal to silverware this season, his signing would have at least provided Arteta with greater variety in attack.
With the release clause in Cunha’s contract now revealed, Arsenal will be hoping to secure his signature in the summer transfer window.
