Wolverhampton have announced the signing of Matheus Cunha on loan from Atletico Madrid on Christmas Day.
The Brazilian joined the Premier League side until the end of the season with an option to buy.
Cunha suffered in Madrid throughout his time there, scoring just seven goals in 58 games in all competitions.
Furthermore, the 23-year-old potential may need to be unlocked by the right manager, and the Wolves obviously need a goal scorer as they are in a relegation fight and have continued to struggle in scoring goals. Julen Lopetegui's side currently is the league's worst scorer.
Meanwhile, speaking for the first time in the Molineux outfit, Cunha has admitted:
“I know Lopetegui as we’ve played against each other three or four times, and he’s a big coach, he has a big mentality.
“He told me about him joining Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton having a big project and I took to the project, I believe in it a lot, and I believe in him. I also believe in the players, and I believe in the club.
“The situation I’ve come into is not the best one. We need to take a little bit more points. But I believe in the club, I believe a lot in the coach, the mentality he has and he has many things to do here in Wolverhampton with the players, but the quality of the players is unbelievable.
“He’s a great person also, and I think everything together, we will put Wolverhampton where Wolverhampton needs to be.” admitted the attacker via club's official website.
