Cunha will join Diego Costa, Raul Jimenez and Hee-Chan Hwang as available strikers at the club - with summer signing Sasa Kalajdzic sidelined until next season with an ACL injury.
Cunha will be is Wolves head coach Julen Lopetegui's first signing since taking over, with the Midlands club bottom of the Premier League after 15 games.
