Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch could be key to the possible signing of Atlético Madrid striker Matheus Cunha.
The Brazilian has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs of late, with Manchester United one of his main suitors in the summer, while more recently it looks likely to be between Leeds, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Wolves for his signature this January.
Now journalist Pete O’Rourke has weighed in on the saga, suggesting that Marsch’s relationship with Cunha could be key in convincing him to choose Elland Road over other options.
“It can only work to their advantage, as you imagine,” O’Rourke told This Is Futbol.

“Both the player and the manager are known to have worked together at RB Leipzig, so that probably gives them an advantage over some of their rivals.
“Matheus Cunha would be interested in working with Jesse Marsch again, and Jesse Marsch also knows everything about Matheus Cunha.”
