The momentary action is on the verge of preventing even the transfer to a big club.
British Tribune reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Michel Arteta does not want to recruit Matheus Cunha.
Tribuna 'Arteta doesn't want to sign Cunha anymore. Cunha re-signed Wolverhampton in January, which includes a buyout clause of 62 million pounds (about 110 billion won). Arteta, however, has doubts about Cunha's character. I am particularly concerned about his emotional anxiety after he was sent off for a foul against Bournemouth last time around.

Cunha was sent off for shocking behavior in the fifth round of the 2024-2025 FA Cup against Bournemouth on the 2nd. Cunha collided with opposing defender Miloš Kerquez in the 15th minute of extra time when Wolverhampton balanced 1-1. Kerkez pulled Cunha's clothes first, but Cunha's response was excessive.Cunha immediately grabbed Kerkez by the neck with his hand, and then swung his arm. After facing each other, I even tried to hit the head. After confirming Cunha's actions, the referee immediately declared his exit. After the game, Cunha reportedly couldn't hold back his anger and had a war of words with coach Victro Pereira.

Further disciplinary action will be taken against Cunha. Britain's The Sun said 'Cunya charged by the FA could face an additional suspension, which could result in a four-match suspension'.
Cunha is known to be likely to move to a big club next season, showing outstanding performance this season. In the 2023-2024 season, Cunha led the Wolverhampton offense with Hwang Hee-chan, who scored 12 goals in the league alone. He scored the most offensive points in his team with 14 goals and eight assists in 36 games. He has been reborn as the team's ace this season. He showed great performance in 29 games with 15 goals and four assists.

In the beginning, the most active team was Arsenal. Arsenal, which is vying for the EPL title, has consistently wanted to recruit front-line strikers since last season. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jeju, who are poor in goal-scoring, are in a difficult situation to beat Manchester City and Liverpool. We considered recruiting Cunha with both scoring ability and versatility.
However, due to this incident, Arsenal do not seem to plan to try to recruit Cunha itself. Since Arteta has been known to have been steadily concerned with the players' personality issues since taking office, there is a high possibility that he has completely withdrawn the recruitment of Cunha, which was taken as a problematic child. A moment's action is on the verge of shaking Cunha's career.
