Arsenal will have money to burn this summer for a major signing after Fabrizio Romano revealed their reasoning for shelving a January deal for Matheus Cunha – and what comes next for the Wolves forward.
Cunha was chased by a number of clubs this winter, with Arsenal one of his main admirers. However, he ended up signing a new contract with Wolves instead. Arsenal came away empty handed, failing to add a single first-team player to their squad.
That was despite injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka in their attack, meaning their options have become more limited in an area they already needed to upgrade.
And while that stance may have been disheartening for Arsenal fans, Romano has hinted that it was with a long-term view in mind – so they can sign an out-and-out striker for big money this summer.
