Wolves boss Lopetegui: You can ask me about Cunha when he's here

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui has described his first match as a great moment.

The Spanish coach took time to speak about being in charge of the Premier League club, as they beat Gillingham in the Carabao Cup at home.

Lopetegui also took a moment to respond to transfer speculation surrounding Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha, who is likely to join Wolves on an initial loan deal in January.

He stated post-game: "I don't have the official update from the club, so I have to be professional. He is a player we want, but I don't have an update. When I do, I will talk about him."

Regarding Cunha having a medical this week, Lopetegui said: "I can't confirm anything. I haven't talked to the club, it's possible that you know more than me!"

On Cunha's qualities, Lopetegui added: "When he is here, you can ask me and I will answer you."
