Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Vitor Pereira has warned suitors of striker Matheus Cunha that they will fight to keep hold of the Brazil international.
The 25-year-old has shone for a struggling Wolves side this season and took his tally for the campaign to ten goals and four assists by scoring directly from a corner in A 2-0 win over Manchester United on Thursday.
The Red Devils were hailed as suitors for Cunha, while Arsenal are the latest team to be linked with the Wolves striker because they want to replace the injured Bukaya Saka.
Pereira, however, has made it clear to those in charge at Molineux that they must do everything they can to keep Cunha.
“In my opinion, he is a player who can reach high standards in this league,” Pereira said Amazon Prime.
Asked if Cunha could take a step forward with another club, the Wolves boss replied: “I hope not, I hope not because we need him. Of course [it is important to keep Cunha]. We need his quality.”
Cunha has previously hinted at a long future with Wolves, describing the club as his “home” in an interview earlier this month.
“I feel the admiration of the fans and this is something I didn’t believe I would get when I first came here, in a small town in England, which is completely different from my hometown – but now I feel like I’m at home,” he said. club media.
“The fans are amazing with me, with my family, and I have nothing but great things to say about my team-mates. But to go to the stadium and perform for them is like feeling at home.
“I feel like I want to do everything I can to change the situation, because when you play with a little more passion and not like it’s just my job, then I think you invest a little more things that can change that.”
