Wolverhampton Wanderers seal the deal of Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid

Wolves announced the signing of Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid late last week, giving supporters a pleasant Christmas surprise. The 23-year-old completed a medical last week, confirming that he would arrive at Molineux. Simeone, the Atleti manager, said that Diego Simeone was planning to send Cunha to Wolverhampton after 18 months in Germany, where he performed well for Hertha Berlin.

Wolves announced that Cunha would join on an initial loan with an option for a permanent transfer on January 1, pending work permit. If certain clauses are triggered, he will sign for the club for the next 20 years. The Brazilian forward, who would become Wolverhampton's most expensive signing, is pleased to join the club. His addition to the team will improve as Wolves try to break out of the bottom three.
