Matheus Cunha passes ‘Anfield audition’ as Liverpool told to sign Wolves star
Liverpool conceded to a Matheus Cunha wonder goal in the 2-1 Premier League win against Wolves.
The Brazilian forward cut inside and released a curling effort from outside the box that found its way past Alisson and got his side back into the Anfield contest on 16 February to make for a nervy finish.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to several of the Premier League‘s biggest clubs are the Reds are no exception. [Daily Mirror]
Whether the Merseysiders act on that interest remains to be seen but supporters have made their stance clear.
Liverpool to sign Matheus Cunha after narrow Wolves win
Arne Slot‘s side have been urged to sign the Brazil international after his exploits against them on Sunday.
One supporter claimed that his reaction after the strike meant that “Cunha is on his way to Anfield in the summer.”
Another commented that the Wolves star “asked for a Liverpool transfer in the summer with that goal.”
You can tell by that goal reaction, Cunha is on his way to Anfield in the summer

Liverpool to overhaul their attack in the summer
The Reds are expected to overhaul their attack in the summer transfer window as Arne Slot is frustrated with the options available to him, despite his side leading the Premier League.
Former Wolves attacker Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz are all facing uncertain futures at Anfield amid injury issues and regular poor performances this campaign.
Another interesting consideration is Mohamed Salah‘s contract situation which is still unresolved at the moment despite his stunning form in which he has notched 28 goals and 19 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.
Cunha is exactly the type of player that Slot would like leading his line on Merseyside, he spoke of his desire for a forward that can score and facilitate goals recently and the Wolves star is similar to Reds legend Roberto Firmino in his playstyle.
The Reds have also been linked with a move for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who has notched 19 goals and five assists in all competitions this campaign.
One thing is for sure, it promises to be a thrilling summer at Anfield as Slot retools his attack after a sensational first season in the dugout so far since replacing Jurgen Klopp.
