Wolverhampton Wanderers have locked in Matheus Cunha with a long-term contract extension despite strong interest in him during the winter transfer window.
Still, rumors about his future persist. Cunha has become a key player for Wolves, thriving in various attacking roles.
Whether as an attacking midfielder, second striker, or center-forward, the Brazilian has adapted seamlessly and made a big impact.
His performances have drawn the attention of top clubs, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keeping tabs on him, according to Fichajes.
While Wolves value him highly, reports indicate they could consider offers over €70 million. Sky Sports News also revealed that Nottingham Forest made a club-record bid of around £60 million for Cunha in the winter window.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to edge the competition
CaughtOffside reported on Saturday, citing sources, that Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to embrace the competition for Cunha.
Spurs won’t have an easy path, though, as CaughtOffside also claims that PSG, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Aston Villa are all interested in Cunha for the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are still focused on finding a new striker, with Cunha remaining a priority despite interest in other players like Benjamin Sesko. Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s interest in the Brazilian has grown, especially after Jhon Duran’s departure in January.
Although Cunha recently extended his contract with Villa, it includes a £62 million release clause, which is expected to be triggered by any interested clubs when the transfer window opens again.
Nigerian-American Kelechi Ndukwe has made history as the first Nigerian to command a US Navy warship, marking a significant milestone in the annals of naval achievements.
Recently promoted to the esteemed rank of Navy Captain from Commander, Ndukwe’s remarkable journey through the US Navy has been characterised by dedication, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to service over the past two decades.
His appointment to this prestigious role reflects his exemplary service and stands as a testament to his trailblazing career.
His ascent through the ranks of the Navy has been both rapid and distinguished. In 2021, he took command of the USS Halsey (DDG-97), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer.
This appointment was a significant step in his career, succeeding DeVere J. Crooks, who had commanded the ship since November 2019. Prior to this role, Ndukwe had served as the ship’s second-in-command, where he honed his leadership skills and tactical acumen.
Ndukwe’s leadership experience is not limited to his current command.
From 2013 to 2015, he was at the helm of the USS Devastator (MCM 6), a minesweeper based in Bahrain. His expertise in command and control during this period showcased his ability to lead complex missions in challenging environments.
A graduate in chemical engineering from the University of Notre Dame, Ndukwe has served on multiple warships deployed in various global hotspots, including the Mediterranean Sea, the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Gulf, and the Western Pacific Ocean.
His operational experience across these regions has equipped him with a broad perspective on maritime security and international naval cooperation.
