Wolverhampton Wanderers have now set their sights on a “sensational” striker, who is set to be available on a free transfer this summer, according to a report.

Wolves eyeing new striker with Cunha set for exit

Matheus Cunha has played a key role in steering Wolves clear of relegation this season, scoring 15 goals in the Premier League, but it appears as though the Brazilian’s time at Molineux could be coming to an end this summer.

Manchester United are now working on a deal to sign Cunha “very soon”, with the Red Devils in the process of negotiating the final details of the contract, which indicates Vitor Pereira will now be tasked with bringing in a replacement.

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy has now emerged as a surprise target, with the 38-year-old set to leave Leicester City this summer, while the Old Gold are also keen on a move for Chelsea’s Joao Felix, who has been told he is free to speak to other clubs.

Wolves have their eye on a number of Premier League strikers, with a report from Caught Offside revealing they have now registered their interest in signing Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.

Calvert-Lewin is currently set to leave Everton on a free transfer this summer, with his contract set to come to an end, and a number of Premier League clubs are queuing up for his signature, including West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.

There is also a chance the 28-year-old will remain at Goodison Park beyond the end of the season, with the Toffees planning a final round of talks over a contract extension.

Calvert-Lewin could be "sensational" signing for Wolves

It could be a very difficult task to replace Cunha this summer, but there are signs the Everton forward could be a solid signing, given his previous exploits in the Premier League, most notably scoring a combined 29 goals across the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns.

The Englishman has also impressed in more recent memory, with reporter Connor O’Neill praising him for his performance in the Merseyside derby last season.

That said, there should be major concerns over the 28-year-old’s injury record, missing the last 12 Premier League games through a hamstring issue, having suffered with injury problems throughout his career.

However, Calvert-Lewin has proven himself to be a top Premier League striker when fit, so it could be a risk worth taking for Wolves this summer, particularly considering he will be available on a free transfer.
