Do Wolves definitely need to sign a striker during this transfer window?Yes, it's absolutely vital
No, not necessarily

However, after scoring no goals and getting one assist in 13 appearances for his Bundesliga side (per Transfermarkt), some believed that he was not good enough.
He looks average at best.

Others, though, were worried over what the interest in the young attacker meant for the club’s other attacking interest, Hwang Hee-chan, who looks to be growing out of reach (per Tim Nash).
So we dont get Hwang?

What do we think?
Cunha’s 6.34/10 average rating for the season so far (per WhoScored), does not make for all that attractive reading for a potential signing.
However, his 13 games have only amassed 358 minutes altogether (per Transfermarkt), meaning that if he was to have a proper run in the first team, he may find better scoring form.
