Former chief scout Mick Brown believes Arsenal are competing to sign Wolves striker Matheus Cunha this summer. With the Brazilian likely to be one of two strikers they plan to sign. Brown has
told Football Insider the 25-year-old is high on the Gunners’ radar
. However, Mikel Arteta will have to make a decision about what type of striker. He wants to lead their attack and whether Cunha would best suit that role. Arteta’s side
have been linked with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Sporting star Viktor Yekeres, who are two different types of forwards to the Brazilian.
“Arsenal have got a bit of a problem,” he told เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา Insider.
“Arteta has to make a decision about what type of centre-forward he wants to bring in. “
And that’s a massive decision for him. Because it has to be the right decision.
“If you’re a team that dominates possession and plays in the opposition half, You have to play in tight spaces.
“Do they need someone strong enough to attack defenders, receive crosses and win the ball? “
Or do they need a clever, good ball-playing player who can link up with someone like Odegaard? “
The names that are mentioned are a bit obvious. They have to make a decision about what kind of forward they want.
“Mateus Cunha is definitely on their list and they are interested in him, but is he the right profile? “
He’s a complete player. He can drop deep to link up and play with team-mates, and he can keep the ball, take runs into players and cut off defences. “
But if they want a bigger forward it might be good to bring Cunha in and partner him as a second striker, then you put that one up as a centre-forward.
“That all comes down to the decision that Arteta had to make before the window opened.”
