Matheus Cunha 2025-26
Matheus Cunha has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most complete attackers. Whether playing as a centre-forward or wide forward, the Brazilian brings flair, physicality and a ruthless finishing touch. Wolves’ talisman and a key figure in Brazil’s World Cup 2026 plans.
Cunha at Wolves
Wolves’ Leader
Cunha arrived at Wolves on loan from Atletico Madrid in January 2023 before the deal was made permanent. What followed has been a transformation of Wolves’ attack — with Cunha as the undisputed focal point. His ability to hold up play, combine with teammates and finish from any angle makes him arguably the best value player in the Premier League.
Brazil’s Wild Card
In a Brazil squad full of talent, Cunha’s directness and clinical nature offer something different. With the 2026 World Cup approaching in North America, Cunha is fighting for his place in a squad that includes Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick and Raphinha. His Premier League form is his best argument to the Selecao coach.
Elite Numbers
Cunha’s numbers at Wolves have been outstanding for a side that rarely challenges for the top six. His xG overperformance, his goal involvement per 90 minutes and his all-round contribution — pressing, chance creation, assists — place him in genuine contention for Premier League’s best attackers not at a top-six club.
