Saka went down with a hamstring injury, believed to be a tear, which manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed will sustain him “many weeks“.

According to The Telegraphone such signing could be Cunha, who entered the radars of numerous elite clubs this season.

The 25-year-old, who joined Wolves on a two-year, £44m loan in 2023, has ten goals and four assists in 18 games this season and has even scored directly from a corner A 2-0 win over Manchester United on Thursday.

His shining form is captured Arsenal‘s eye and Wolves are now preparing for bids as they try to convince Cunha to extend his stay at Molineux.

Wolves, 17th in the Premier League table, are prepared to demand a huge fee to part ways with Cunha in January as they remain in a real fight to avoid relegation – the kind of fee that could make a winter transfer impossible for even the richest page.
