Arsenal reportedly still interested in Wolves striker Mateusz Kunia for this January as his situation remains something to watch, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Brazil international has shone for Wolves in the Premier League, contributing ten goals and four assists so far this season and looks like a player who would suit a bigger club.
Arsenal are looking for exactly this type of player following the recent injuries to Bucayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, with Kunia able to play out wide or up front to good effect.
Watch below for the latest details from Romano as he says Arsenal and others are monitoring Kunia’s situation as his relationship with Wolves boss Vitor Pereira looks like a potentially major issue…
??? Cunha’s situation between now and the end of January remains one to watch.
A new contract has yet to be officially signed, as reported two days ago, clubs are showing interest in Arsenal who are still interested and not only…

Cunha attracted criticism for his Wolves performance against Chelsea last night, so perhaps all is not well for the 25-year-old at Molineux at the moment.
The transfer of Mateusz Kunia could be crucial for Arsenal
It’s not easy to make quality signings in the middle of the season, but Cunha looks like he could be a good bargain in the market.
The Gunners may be able to sign Cunha for a below-market price as he is yet to sign a new contract with Wolves, so it’s no surprise that Romano said this is one to watch.
However, with the way Cunha is playing, it also stands to reason that there could be other clubs in the race for his signature if he does become available.
CaughtOffside have also been informed previously Manchester United are interested in Kuniawhich makes sense after the poor form of all three of Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund this season.
Arsenal would certainly be the most tempting move, however, with Mikel Arteta’s side likely to be outsiders in the title race while also having Champions League football on offer.
