### ⚒️ *Statement of Intent from the Irons*

 

Cunha’s arrival signals serious ambition from the Hammers, who have been pushing to re-establish themselves among the Premier League’s elite. After a strong individual season at Wolves — where he registered 13 goals and 7 assists across all competitions — Cunha had attracted interest from clubs across Europe, but West Ham moved swiftly to meet his release clause.

 

**“We’re bringing in a player with top-level experience, flair, and hunger,”** said West Ham sporting director Tim Steidten. **“Matheus adds firepower and creativity to our attack — exactly what we need.”**

### 🇧🇷 *Cunha’s Journey: From Brazil to East London*

 

Matheus Cunha began his European career with RB Leipzig, before making his mark at Hertha Berlin and then Atlético Madrid. He joined Wolves in 2023 and quickly became a fan favorite with his flair, technical skill, and relentless energy. His versatility — capable of playing as a striker, winger, or second forward — makes him a potent weapon in Lopetegui’s tactical setup.

 

**“I’m excited for this new challenge,”** Cunha told West Ham TV. **“The fans, the project, and the chance to play European football again — it all made sense. I can’t wait to get started.”**

### 🔥 What This Means for West Ham

 

With Cunha leading the line, West Ham gain a dynamic, press-resistant forward who thrives in transition and loves to take on defenders. His link-up play could be crucial with the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá (should he stay), and Mohammed Kudus operating around him.

 

The signing also serves as a statement to rivals — the Hammers are not just aiming for top-half stability; they’re gunning for Europe again.

### 🗓️ Next Steps

 

Cunha will join the squad for preseason in early July, and fans could get their first glimpse of him in claret and blue during West Ham’s U.S. tour. His debut at the London Stadium will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated moments of the 2025/26 campaign.

**Welcome to East London, Matheus Cunha. The revolution begins. ⚒️🇧🇷**
