Wolves are working on a new contract for Matheus Cunha amid interest from Arsenal in January.
The Gunners are looking to sign a new striker this month following Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury.
Cunha is emerging as a real target for Mikel Arteta, but Wolves are determined to fend off their interest by offering the Brazilian a better deal at Molineux.
The forward has two and a half years left on his current contract but is likely to be tempted to move to Arsenal.
But if Wolves can successfully tie their striker down to a new deal, which could include a release clause, it would effectively end Arsenal's hopes of a deal this month unless the Emirates Stadium club are willing to pay more than pay above the player's rating.
Wolves have shown sharp improvement under newly appointed head coach Vitor Pereira, but remain in danger of relegation. With that in mind, the Molineux club are determined to keep the 25-year-old this month, although sources close to the deal have not completely ruled out a move.
