- Matheus Cunha stayed in Wolves despite the interest of the best clubs in January
- He helped them avoid relegation and now wants a move in summer

The Wolves Matheus Cunha striker described his intention to move to a larger club this summer.
Cunha has scored 13 goals in 26 Premier League matches this season, arousing the interest of a number of best teams.
The Brazilian only put the pen on paper on a new four and a half year old agreement last month, but most think that this had to protect his transfer value with a liberation clause of 62.5 million pounds Sterling included.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest recorded their interest in January, but he chose to stay there and help the mistakes in their fight to stand.
He almost did this with wolves placed in 17th row now at nine points above Ipswich in 18th.
And speaking to The Guardian, Cunha said he wanted to ask for a new challenge.

“I had a lot of offers (to leave in January) but I would not feel well if I had done,” said Cunha.
“Some things that you cannot control but I could not leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.
“Now we are about to achieve our goal (to stand up). But I clearly indicated that I have to go to the next step. I want to fight for titles, for great things. I have potential.
Cunha’s comments are involved after what could be an important development in one of his potential contenders.
Arsenal confirmed the appointment of Andrea Berta as a new sports director on Sunday.
Berta has become the main candidate to replace Edu after the Brazilian resigned to take a stand in the network of clubs led by the owner of Nottingham Forest Evangelos Marinakis. He started his new role with immediate effect.
Berta was responsible for bringing Cunha to Atletico Madrid in Hertha Berlin in 2021, the Spanish team paying around 22 million pounds Sterling.
Berta left Atletico Madrid in January after a 12 -year spell and was recognized for having signed Rodri, Antoine Griezmann and Jan Oblak in business, as well as the sale of players for substantial benefits.
