Arsenal are watching the FA Cup fourth round fixtures from the comfort of their training camp in Dubai as they prepare for the Premier League match against Leicester City next weekend.
The Gunners fell out of the competition on a penalty shootout against Manchester United in the third round. However, it means that Arsenal can make the most of a free weekend.
Taking a watching brief on games could also help Mikel Arteta assess some of his possible summer transfer targets ahead of the window opening at the end of the season. One of those could be Wolves forward Mathus Cunha.
Arsenal are one of the teams linked with an interest in the 25-year-old who has been a standout player for Wolves this season. He appeared to put an end to the speculation over his future by putting pen-to-paper on a new contract at Molineux.
It is however said that the deal contains a £62 million release clause, giving Arsenal and their rivals a chance of completing a summer deal – especially if Wolves are relegated at the end of the season.
Wolves are one of the teams in FA Cup action this weekend as they take on Championship side Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in Sunday’s early kick-off. Cunha was named in the starting line-up by Vitor Pereira.
