We're quickly approaching the end of the transfer window, and just as things are coming apart, arsenal Did not sign a single player.
The Gunners' season is currently hanging by a thread, and while some say they… English Premier League The campaign is done and dusted, there is still too much football to play to give up on that easily.
However, to give themselves the best chance of catching up with Liverpool and repairing their significant points advantage, Mikel Arteta The side will need some attacking reinforcements.
Fortunately, recent reports continue to link the club with one of the most exciting players in the Premier League, a player so good that he may be able to impress the next best. Gabrielle also.
Arsenal target Premier League star
According to Latest report from GivemesportArsenal maintain their pursuit of the Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matthews Cunha.
Move focus
Big money trades, controversial moves and big name flops. This is the home of football news and opinion via fancast.
In good news for fans, the report revealed that the Gunners are now “increasingly optimistic” that the Brazilian striker is interested “in completing a move to the Emirates Stadium before the winter transfer window closes on February 3.”
The report continues that “the player's preference is to become the latest addition to Arteta's squad,” and although the old gold are understandably reluctant to sell their best player mid-season, other reports have claimed that the north Londoners may need to move on. Pay up to £80m A deal happens.
It would be a very expensive and complex transfer to get over the line, but given Cunha's immense ability, it is worth pursuing, especially as it could help Martinelli return to his best.
How would it improve being Martinelli
So, getting straight to the point, there are two reasons signing Cunha could help get the most out of Martinelli, the second of which relates to the first states: getting him out.
brazilian “monster” His teammate calls him Joao GomezHe has been in sensational form for Wolves in the Premier League this season, scoring ten goals and providing four assists In only 21 matchestotaling 1,689 minutes, which amounts to an average of goal involvement every 1.5 games, or every 120.64 minutes.
Not only is that incredibly impressive for a team currently battling it out at the bottom of the league, but he's also significantly better than the Gunners' current first-choice striker, Kai Havertz.

For example, in 19 league appearancesIn north London this term, totaling 1,662 minutes, the former Bayer Leverkusen has scored eight goals and provided two assists, which amounts to an average goal involvement every 1.90 games, or every 166.2 minutes, which is not terrible, but it's not great. Also, especially since he plays in a team that is fighting for the league.
So, this shows us that the former Atlético Madrid star is more of a goal threat than the German and more of a creator as well.
Therefore, he will not only likely finish more chances created by Martinelli, in turn enhancing his assists, but may also provide his compatriot with more chances to score himself.
The second way in which the 25-year-old has helped rediscover the former Ituano gem is in his scintillating form two seasons ago a player of defenders more than Havertz already.
The raw output of Phenom-born João Pessoa, coupled with his technical ability, should force opposition defenders to pay more attention to him than they do to the former Chelsea striker, which in turn should open up more space for the Gunners' number 11 to exploit.
Ultimately, Cunha has shown this season that he is one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League, and although he may cost an arm and a leg, Arsenal should do everything they can to sign him, because he may be able to revive Martinelli too.
