Arsenal Given Transfer Boost as Liverpool Captain Praises Matheus Cunha

Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, and now Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has added to the speculation by offering high praise for the Brazilian.

Arsenal were reportedly in the market for a new centre-forward during the January transfer window, with Cunha among the names linked to a potential move. Manchester United were also said to be interested, but the 24-year-old ultimately committed his future to Wolves by signing a new contract that runs until 2029.

Despite staying at Molineux, Cunha has continued to impress, scoring 13 goals across all competitions this season, including 12 in the Premier League. His performances have kept him on the radar of top clubs, and Arsenal may yet return with renewed interest in the summer.

With Arsenal seeking attacking reinforcements, Cunha’s consistency and versatility make him a compelling option for Mikel Arteta’s squad. Van Dijk’s endorsement only adds to the growing belief that the Brazilian could thrive at a top-six club.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the Gunners will be closely monitoring his situation despite his long-term contract at Wolves.
