Cunha -interest detailed

Arteta's problems
Mikel Arteta has made a plea to Arsenal Chiefs to bring in a striker before the end of the transfer window. But the Gunners boss has insisted they should only bring in someone if they believe he is a good fit for the club.
“My opinion is clear – we have lost two very important players in Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, so we are missing goals, people and options in the front line, it is clear. If we can get the right player, those are what we are actively looking for look , but every player – no,' he said.
“We need someone who makes us better and has an impact on the team, it's clear that for the period when we have ideally lost them, we need some help because we were already short and we are even shorter. The team has still dealt with that, but we have to do what is right for the club.”
