Matheus Cunha says he will do what he can to stay at Wolves for ‘a long time’.
The Brazilian arrived at Molineux back in January, and has become a pretty popular figure at the club.
Cunha hasn’t been as prolific as some hoped he would be.
But it was never really likely that he would be, given his goalscoring records at previous clubs.
He often plays as a striker, but many feel his best position is just in behind a number nine.
But Cunha has definitely impressed with his ball carrying ability. And he also works tirelessly, which endears him to the Molineux faithful.
It’s been a decent 10 months for the £44 million star at the club, and Cunha is certainly enjoying it…
Cunha has given an interview with the Express & Star about life at Wolves.
The 24-year-old always comes across as a very happy and fulfilled individual.
And there is no facade with him – he genuinely loves being at Wolves, and is intent on staying for as long as possible.
On making a dream move to the Premier League, he said: “It means a lot. It means I’ve achieved everything I dreamed of in football.
“I’ve always thought about giving my best, and getting to places that are easier to dream about when you’re younger, but as you grow up, you learn how tough that is, how tough it is to get to those places.
“But with enough resilience and humility, I believe you can move forward, without caring too much about the future, building a foundation out of the few rocks you have until it becomes a massive castle.
“To be here and to be able to show to the world and to myself, to that little boy, that my dream has come true, is certainly very pleasing.
“I’ll do everything I can to stay here for a long time.”
Cunha also branded manager Gary O’Neil ‘an incredible person’ in the interview.
It is great to hear Cunha express how much he enjoys being at the club.
You do get the sense that he is genuinely living his dream of playing in the Premier League, and loves Wolves for giving him that opportunity.
The early signs with Cunha have been good.
He has many brilliant traits.
But he just needs to work on that finishing. If he does improve in that area, then he could genuinely be a special player for Wolves.
