- Matheus Cunha has been in top form for Wolves so far this campaign
- Bukayo Saka suffers a hamstring injury that will keep the Gunners star out
- LISTEN NOW: It's all starting! New line-up, some new faces, but optimism has faded at Old Trafford
Wolves are working on a new contract for Matheus Cunha amid interest from Arsenal in January.
The Gunners want to sign a new striker this month following Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury.
Cunha is emerging as a genuine target for Mikel Arteta, but Wolves are determined to fend off his interest by offering the Brazilian an improved deal at Molineux.
The forward has two and a half years left on his current contract but is likely to be tempted by a move to Arsenal.
But if Wolves can successfully tie their striker to a new deal, which could include a release clause, it would effectively end Arsenal's hopes of a deal this month unless the Emirates Stadium club are willing to pay well above of the player's rating.
Wolves have shown great improvement under new coach Vitor Pereira, but remain in danger of relegation. With this in mind, the Molineux club are determined to retain the 25-year-old this month, although sources close to the deal do not completely rule out a transfer.
