Tottenham ready to break transfer record for Wolverhampton forward Matheus Cunha
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a record-breaking move to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha during the upcoming summer transfer window, in a deal that could see the club smash their current transfer fee record.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Spurs are lining up an offer of around €75 million for the Brazilian international—well above the €65 million they spent on Dominic Solanke last summer. If completed, the transfer would mark a significant investment and signal the North London club’s intent to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Cunha, 25, has been a standout performer for Wolverhampton Wanderers since joining the club. In 86 appearances, he has notched 32 goals and provided 13 assists, establishing himself as one of the most dynamic forwards in the Premier League. His blend of technical ability, creativity, and energy has caught the attention of several top clubs, with both Manchester United and Arsenal also reportedly monitoring his situation closely.
The Brazilian, who has represented his country 13 times and scored one international goal, is believed to be open to a move this summer. With Wolves reportedly willing to listen to offers, a transfer appears increasingly likely.
Tottenham’s interest in Cunha comes as the club looks to rejuvenate its attacking line. Club stalwart Heung-Min Son, who has been one of Spurs’ most consistent performers over the past decade, has struggled to hit his usual form this season. While Son remains an important figure, the club hierarchy appears to be eyeing a long-term successor who can take on a more central attacking role in the years to come.

Cunha fits that profile perfectly. Known for his versatility, he can operate across the front line, playing as a central striker, a second forward, or even in a wide attacking role. His intelligent movement and ability to link up with midfielders make him a natural fit for Tottenham manager’s fluid, attacking system.
The potential acquisition of Cunha would also represent a statement of ambition from Tottenham as they aim to return to the Champions League and challenge for silverware. With top-six rivals strengthening their squads, Spurs are under pressure to keep pace, and signing a proven Premier League forward would certainly boost their credentials.
However, Tottenham will not have a clear path to Cunha’s signature. Both Manchester United and Arsenal are believed to be keeping a close eye on developments, and competition for the forward is expected to be intense. Still, with their willingness to break the bank, Spurs may have the upper hand if they can convince Cunha of their long-term project.
As the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on Tottenham to see whether they can pull off one of the biggest deals of the year—and possibly reshape their attacking future in the process.
