Matheus Cunha will be plying his trade in the Premier League next year, but he won’t be wearing a Leeds United shirt. The Brazil international has agreed to become Julen Logetegui’s first signing at Wolves and he’ll make the move on January 1 on an initial loan deal.
The Atletico Madrid forward had plenty of interest as the transfer window approached, with Leeds one side thought to be interested in his signature. United have been linked with Cunha in the past and it seems they have followed his career closely over the last few years as a potential target.
However, the Whites will now be forced to look elsewhere in their bid to land a striker over the next few weeks. Despite the goals of Rodrigo this season, it’s clear the club are in need of more attacking options and, having fallen short in the summer, they will be doing all they can to get the right man over the line before the window shuts at the end of next month.
