It has been as unpredictable as a Christopher Nolan plot twist—flashes of brilliance but also moments of complete confusion, like Chelsea’s attack. Once more, the Blues are linked with Matheus Cunha, a player who has already inflicted pain on them in the past.
Wolves’ striker, Cunha, is currently lighting up in the Wolves front line and brings all the pace, versatility and finishing Chelsea require. He’s been the Wolves’ standout performer despite his side struggling, and he is a big reason why the rest of the team is just staying afloat. Anyway, Chelsea scouts are so interested in him that if they were anything as active as caffeine-induced university students before finals, they would be working harder.
Matthew Cunha: The Man Who Got Pochettino Sacked?
Use it as a reminder: when Wolves thrashed Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge last season. Indeed, Chelsea fans are still trying to forget. The man of the match that day, Matheus Cunha, put on a masterclass, having gone on to score a hat trick, and ended Mauricio Pochettino’s managerial fate.
If Chelsea’s decision makers didn’t have the audacity to play that game on repeat before sacking Pochettino, let’s be real… You notice when your striker buries you on your own turf and celebrates as if he has just hit the jackpot. Ironically, the Blues now want to sign the man who has undone them so much. Football, eh?
Chelsea’s Summer Shopping List: Why Cunha is a Priority
Cunha fits the bill for Chelsea’s attack that badly needs serious reinforcement. Here’s why:
Versatile: He can play as a striker, a second striker or a wingman. Indeed, he is like that friend everyone always had but one day managed to make better at every video game.
Not a “hand-needed adjusting period,” not a “settling in,” experienced in England’s toughest, he is scoring.
Release Clause Drama: Wolves have won the race with a release clause of £62 million. Chelsea can trigger the release clause if they really want him.
Potential Challenges in Signing Cunha
But obviously, signing Cunha will not be a simple ‘Buy now’ on Amazon.
Rivals: There’s competition for Chelsea. They could be swooped in by other top clubs quicker than a Black Friday deal.
Still signed at Wolves—Wolves are not eager to let him go; they just extended his contract.
Chelsea’s Current Struggles Cunha, frankly, might not be convinced to switch ship with Chelsea still figuring out their tactical identity.
Why I Think Chelsea Should Go All In
Being a fan of football (and a keyboard warrior on the transfer rumors), it is only right that Chelsea actually push for Cunha. Lifting that attack will only be the trademark of his brilliance: flair, pace, and finishing ability. In addition, it’s fair to say the January window they have closed out has left fans wanting more, and with a club that needs excitement, a big signing would be very welcome.
For instance, there is Cunha leading the Chelsea frontline alongside Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson. No, Stamford Bridge does not now appear to be a haven for attackers wanting to go and lose their confidence. This is the sort of move the club should be making. They should be serious about backing Enzo Maresca (if indeed he remains).
Final Verdict: Will Chelsea Sign?
However, it’s far too early to say, but one thing is clear: Chelsea need reinforcements; Cunha is all boxes ticked. Another story is if they can stand and fend off competition, can he release clause? However, if there is one thing the Chelsea fans have learned in recent years, it is that they are rarely daunted to splash the cash.
Will Chelsea sign the man who humiliated them? Or will fans be heartbroken again when they leave frustrated in the transfer market? Then wade through this summer and see what becomes of it.
