The Brazilian is attracting plenty of interest during January, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham all linked.

Cunha was early this month reportedly close to agreeing a new contract with Wolves but in the last week there have been suggestions the forward is ready to explore a change of clubs. A price tag of £60million has been mooted.

But, speaking to reporters on Friday, Pereira says Cunha is committed to the cause. He said: "He’s my player. I think he’s not for sale. He’s committed to us and what we need from him.

"He’s never asked me to leave the club. He wants to help the team and be with us to try and win the game."

Pereira took aim at Cunha following defeat at Chelsea last time out, evening suggesting the player's head at been turned by interest from elsewhere.

The manager was unimpressed by the player's body language, telling reporters at the time: "This cannot happen again. We need to be together."

But Pereira on Friday insisted the issues were behind the pair, explaining: "He knows what I want from him, we had a conversation and it's sorted. He's ready to help the team.
