Wolves are approaching a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha - as new boss Julen Lopetegui aims to boost the worst attack in the Premier League and kick-start their battle against relegation

Wolves are closing on a deal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha.

Talks are underway ahead of a January transfer for the 23-year-old Brazilian, who was linked to Manchester United last summer.

Atletico need to sell as they will be down on predicted revenue after dropping out of the Champions League, finishing bottom of their group, which also contained Porto, Club Brugge and Bayer Leverkusen.
