Matheus Cunha has fast become the Premier League's most wanted man with SIX clubs chasing his signature this month but Wolves are desperate to keep star man to stave off relegation

In November, Gary O'Neil declared that there was 'no limit' on Matheus Cunha's potential. Not even the sky, apparently. O'Neil, who has since been jettisoned by Wolves, also said his star was going to stay at Molineux for 'as long as possible'. That timeline may now be measured in days.

Cunha had just scored two stunners in a 4-1 rout at Fulham. It was one of his greatest days in a Wolves shirt, up there with his hat-trick against Chelsea last season and his match-winning display against Southampton two weeks earlier. He is the jewel in the bog of the Premier League relegation battle, the supercar in the second-hand bike shop. Could any team in the bottom five lay claim to having a better player this season? No. Only a few players in the bottom half merit comparison on current form.

It's little surprise, then, to see the prospective buyers queueing up. Mail Sport revealed on Tuesday that Nottingham Forest have made Cunha their top target. That would go down well in the Midlands, wouldn't it? Just ask Morgan Gibbs-White. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham are also linked with him. Meanwhile, Wolves are scrambling to secure him on a new deal and keep him away from the clutches of the elite. Their upturn under Vitor Pereira could prove persuasive.
