Wolves striker Matheus Cunha: It's just amazing to be here

Wolves striker Matheus Cunha is delighted with his progress at Molineux.

The January arrival from Atletico Madrid admits he feels comfortable at Premier League level.

He told the Wolves website: "It's amazing. It's amazing to play here, it's amazing to play in the Premier League. It's amazing to have the teammates I have, to play in the best league in the world.

“It's a very pleasing experience. For me, it was a choice. This was the best path I could take and my expectations are high.

“I think we have a great team, as shown in the game against Manchester City. Against Man United, we also played very well, and even against Liverpool.

“Personally, I want to accomplish something big but, of course, putting my personal objectives in service of the team, because the team is the most important and the way to go is together. Together, we can leave a mark in this club."

On adapting to England, he continued: “It's unique – a lot different from Brazil. I'm just getting to know it, I haven't been here for long – not even a year, but little by little, I'm getting acquainted and adapting.

“But it's certainly a unique culture, with some very interesting aspects to it, but also a few that are too unique for me. But it was a lot easier to settle here than in Germany, and people here made a great impression on me.

“I thought they'd be more stand-offish, when in fact, they've been very warm, friendly and helpful. So, the English people made a very positive impression both on me and my family."
