Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha says he “need (s) to take the step” and challenge for major honours. Cunha, 25, signed a new contract at Wolves in February which runs until June 2029 and contains a release clause.

Matheus Cunha says he wants to take Wolves to "another level" and that a recent interview in which he seemed to imply he needed to leave the club had been misinterpreted. Brazil striker Cunha said in an interview with the Observer that he has told Wolves he needs to "take the next step" and fight for titles in his career.

Matheus Cunha suffered backlash from Wolves fans after declaring in an interview that he wants to leave the club just two months after signing a new contract amid links of a move to Arsenal

Sitting just outside the bottom three while owning a nine-point lead over Ipswich and Leicester City respectively, Vitor Pereira has the chance to guide his side to within five points of Graham Potters Hammers.

Wolves have got a nine-point cushion above the bottom three but they still have a bit of work to do to make sure they are completely safe. Their best player Matheus Cunha is still suspended, and he is such a big miss.
