Arsenal want to sign Wolves star but face stumbling block

Arsenal want to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Matheus Cunha this winter but face a potential stumbling block

The Gunners have had plenty of injuries this campaign and they are presently without Bukayo Saka for two months following a hamstring surgery.

Ethan Nwaneri has impressed in the last few games in his absence, but the teenager could be sidelined after a muscle injury yesterday.

Arsenal desperately need more quality in the final third. Cunha would be a perfect addition as he can play anywhere in the attack.

AS Diario claim that the Gunners are eager to bring him to the Emirates Stadium, but face a huge stumbling block in the form of Wolves.

The Midlands outfit are currently just outside the relegation zone on goal difference and they are reluctant to lose their prized asset.

Talks are underway over a new long-term contract and the club are ready to include a relegation release clause to convince the player.

The news is a huge blow for the Gunners. The London giants may have to look elsewhere to bolster their attack before the February 3 deadline.
