Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha has signed a contract extension at Wolverhampton Wanderers, to keep him at the club until 2029.
Cunha, who had been tipped for a move away from the club in the January transfer window, has been a key player for Wolves this season. He is their top scorer with 11 Premier League goals - including the victory-sealing second strike in Saturday evening's 2-0 win over Aston Villa - and has provided four assists in the competition.
The Brazil star has also been shortlisted for the Guinness Goal of the Month on four occasions in 2024/25, three of which came in November and one in December.
Cunha initially joined Wolves on loan from Atletico Madrid in January 2022, with the move automatically becoming a permanent one after certain clauses were triggered.
He has gone on to make 72 Premier League appearances for Wolves so far, netting 25 goals - he's only the second player to reach that milestone for the club, after Raul Jimenez who eventually scored 40 before joining Fulham.
Cunha's decision to agree a new deal is a big boost for new head coach Vitor Pereira.
In the announcement on Wolves' official website, club chairman Jeff Shi said: "Matheus has been on an amazing journey with us over the past two years and it’s been a privilege to see him grow into a big part of the Wolves family."
Wolves' sporting director Matt Hobbs added: "The new contract is a reward for what Matheus has done, and symbolises his importance to us on the pitch.
"Matheus loves the club, loves the fans and really appreciates the opportunity the club has given him."
