Wolves decide on Matheus Cunha sale as Sky Sports drop Aston Villa transfer news

Aston Villa are interested in signing Wolves star Matheus Cunha, according to Sky Sports.

The outlet reported on 31 January that the Villans are among a host of sides interested in signing the Brazil international from Molineux.

Regardless of Villa’s interest, Vitor Pereira’s side do not want to sell the 25-year-old who has scored 10 and assisted four in the Premier League this season.

It looks as if Jhon Duran is going to depart Villa Park before the end of the winter transfer window which would leave a gap in Unai Emery’s side.

This could see the Villans swoop for a forward option before the 3 February deadline and there is no doubt that Cunha would be an excellent option.

The former Atletico Madrid ace has been a shining light for the Old Gold who have struggled for large spells of the current campaign.

Given the importance of the Brazilian forward, it will not be an easy move for Monchi and Co. to complete, especially with such little time remaining in the window.

In other Aston Villa news, an approach has been made for Marco Asensio who is ready for a transfer.
