Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have endured a hugely inconsistent season, with their latest 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth leaving Ange Postecoglou and the fans frustrated.
It was a poor performance and the result left the Lilywhites 10th in the Premier League table. A glut of injuries to key players have had a huge impact on Spurs’ performances. The attacking unit has been stretched following injuries to Richarlison and Wilson Odobert, whereas academy kid Mikey Moore has been out since last month with a bad virus.
Richarlison enduring another injury-hit campaign means Ange Postecoglou has had no option to rotate with club-record acquisition Dominic Solanke, who is yet to demonstrate his prolific goalscoring ability of last season at Bournemouth.

With Son Heung-min now 32 and no more the force he once was during his prime, the North Londoners must seek attacking reinforcements during the upcoming January transfer window.
According to an exclusive report from FootballTransfers, Tottenham are interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha. They are prepared to contact the forward’s entourage ahead of a possible swoop next month.
Matheus Cunha has been exceptional for Wolves thus far this season, amassing seven goals and three assists in 14 Premier League appearances. The Brazilian international’s sizzling displays have got him into the radar of several Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal.
The 25-year-old has a contract at Molineux until June 2027 (Transfermarkt), but Wolves are seemingly facing a huge battle when it comes to keeping hold of him for long due to the growing interest in his services. The aforementioned report adds the Wanderers are eager to offer him a new contract and make him the highest-paid player at the club. This signals the Black County outfit’s desire to retain Cunha.

Nonetheless, a move to Spurs will certainly be appealing for Cunha, with the Lilywhites looking to bring in competition for Solanke when it comes to the centre-forward spot. The Brazilian appears good enough for a club like Tottenham, having performed extremely well at Wolves since arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2023.
The chiefs at the Hotspur Way would do well to bring in an alternative to Solanke, and Cunha increasingly looks like a safe bet. At White Hart Lane, he would also certainly be an upgrade on the injury-prone Richarlison, who is expected to be transfer-listed by Daniel Levy in 2025.
