Newcastle United Eyeing Move for Wolves Striker Matheus Cunha

Newcastle United are reportedly showing interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, who has been in impressive form this season with 10 goals to his name. As the Magpies aim to secure a Champions League spot for the second consecutive year under manager Eddie Howe, strengthening their attacking options appears to be on the agenda.

While Newcastle’s primary focus for the January transfer window seems to be bolstering their defense, with targets like Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens and Eric Garcia from Barcelona, the club is also monitoring offensive talents. Cunha has caught their attention with his standout performances in the Premier League.

However, Newcastle may face stiff competition for Cunha’s signature, with other top Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United also expressing interest. Additionally, teams from the Saudi Pro League are keeping tabs on the Brazilian striker.

Despite Wolves’ struggles this season, Cunha is not expected to push for a move in January. The Midlands club is reportedly keen on extending his contract to secure his future at Molineux.

Cunha, who earns £60,000 per week, has been a bright spot for Wolves, contributing 10 goals and several assists, including a goal and an assist in their recent 2-0 victory over Manchester United. Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has praised Cunha as a “special player” who can make a difference in the Premier League.

With uncertainty surrounding Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain, the Magpies may be forced to reinforce their attacking options in the summer. Cunha’s proven Premier League experience could make him an attractive target for Newcastle as they look to build on their recent success and establish themselves as regular contenders for European football.
