Matheus Cunha surprised supporters in the Wolves Megastore on Friday afternoon, purchasing shirts for them with his new squad number on the back.
The Brazilian has been wearing the number 12 shirt since he signed for the club from Atletico Madrid in January 2023 but will now switch to the 10 for the 2024/25 season following Daniel Podence’s switch to Saudi side Al-Shabab.
Cunha will follow in the footsteps of many of the club’s memorable forwards to don the number 10 shirt, including Derek Dougan, Mel Eves, Steven Fletcher, Bakary Sako and Helder Costa.
To celebrate the moment he surprised unsuspecting supporters at Molineux ahead of this weekend’s game, and gifted them with home and away shirts with his name and new number on the back.
