Wolves suffered yet another Premier League defeat as the Old Gold lost to Chelsea however, that wasn’t the main concern of the fixture.
Several Wolves stars struggled as Chelsea collected all three points when the two sides met at Stamford Bridge.
Vitor Pereira has a lot of problems to solve as the result left the Old Gold still waiting for a point in 2025.
Wolves’ third consecutive Premier League defeat leaves them level on points with 18th-placed Ipswich Town as relegation fears refuse to go away.
What Matheus Cunha did at full-time against Chelsea
Before the game, Pereira was full of praise for Matheus Cunha, who has had a week in the spotlight amid transfer speculation.
Arsenal have been linked to Cunha, who is discussing a new contract with Wolves as interest in the forward escalates.
Heading into the contest at Stamford Bridge, the news that Cunha’s contract talks have stalled surfaced, with all eyes on the Brazilian in the capital.
The 25-year-old will hope that Arsenal and his other admirers weren’t watching, as Wolves fans slammed Cunha for his lack of effort shown against Chelsea.
Many commented on how uninterested the wanted star looked in the game, with tensions rising at full-time.
Reporting from Stamford Bridge, journalist Liam Keen claimed that Cunha headed straight down the tunnel at full-time as the Brazilian appeared to show little appreciation for the away supporters.
The Wolves reporter took the time to question Cunha’s attitude throughout the contest, in what was a really concerning showing from the forward.
Fear now rising around Cunha’s Wolves future
While Cunha verbally agreed a contract with Wolves, nothing is official as of yet, with it understood that the player’s agent is feeling restless.
Cunha’s agent is making ‘noise’ as he has spotted a gap in the market for his client, which is bad news considering that Arsenal are on the prowl for a new forward.
If the forward’s performance and actions against Chelsea were anything to go by, it could be assumed that contract talks are not in as good of a place as first thought.
It’s set to be a worrying end to the January transfer window for Wolves, who surely cannot lose Cunha before the end of the month.
