Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Matheus Cunha is reportedly ready to join Manchester United despite Arsenal keeping tabs on him. As reported by Eduardo Hagn on X (formerly Twitter), the 25-year-old is wanted by the two clubs as well as Aston Villa.
Cunha has been on fire for Wolverhampton Wanderers this season despite the their inconsistent form this campaign. He has scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 33 appearances across competitions. Cunha joined Wolves in January 2023 from Atletico Madrid, initially on a loan deal before making his deal permanent next summer. He has made 89 appearances for the club, scoring 33 times and providing 33 assists.
Capped 13 times for Brazil, Cunha has scored once for the Selecao. He is capable of playing either as a number nine as well as a secondary striker and even on the flanks.

Manchester United and Arsenal would both do with the addition of a lethal goalscorer to their ranks. While Cunha is not a prolific number nine, his all-round game would be a big asset to either club.
Manchester United have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in their ranks, who have both struggled to impress up front. Arsenal, on the other hand, are also in dire need of an upgrade over Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
Manchester United dealt major blow as transfer target keen on joining Arsenal: Reports
Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres reportedly favors a move to Arsenal over Manchester United in the summer. As reported by The Telegraph, the Sweden international is more keen on moving to the Emirates rather than reuniting with Ruben Amorim.
Gyokeres has been one of the most sought-after footballers on the planet in recent months following his exploits with Sporting CP. He opened up about his future in April and seemingly opened the door for an exit in the summer. He said, as quoted by talkSPORT:
"I can’t say anything about that. No one can predict what will happen, we enjoy the moment."
Gyokeres joined Sporting CP from Championship side Coventry City in 2023 for a reported fee of just €20 million and has not looked back since. He has scored 95 goals and provided 27 assists in 99 appearances for Sporting CP.
The Manchester United and Arsenal target has scored 52 times and provided 12 assists in 49 appearances across competitions this season. He reportedly has a €100 million release clause in his deal, but Sporting CP would let him depart for €70 million.
