Matheus Cunha on 'big mentality' role of Julen Lopetegui in Wolves move amid Leeds United links

Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the signing of long-term Leeds United 'target' Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian striker has been linked with a move to Elland Road across a number of seasons and he'll finally be heading to the Premier League, but not to Elland Road.

The 23-year-old has finalised a loan move, which will automatically become a permanent deal until 2027, should certain clauses be triggered. Cunha is Brazil under-23s’ record goal scorer with an impressive 21 strikes in 23 games, during which time he top scored at the 2019 Toulon Tournament, which the Brazilians also won.

The striker has outlined how big of a role, new Wolves boss, Julen Lopetegui played in the transfer. “I know him as we’ve played against each other three or four times, and he’s a big coach, he has a big mentality," Cunha told Wolves.
