Julen Lopetegui on Matheus Cunha role after ex-Leeds United target's stuttering Wolves start

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is positive Matheus Cunha will be a hit at Molineux despite a stuttering start to life with the Premier League strugglers. The Brazilian, who is initially on loan at Wolves but will join the club on a record fee of £43million in July, is yet to score in his first nine appearances for Wolves since joining from Atletico Madrid in January.

Leeds United have long been linked with a move for Cunha, dating back to his time in the Bundesliga with Hertha Berlin. Nonetheless, a move to Elland Road would not transpire despite Marcelo Bielsa being a reported fan.

The 23-year-old has two assists to his name since moving to Wolves, but spurned a couple of opportunities in the 1-0 defeat to relegation rivals Bournemouth last weekend.
