Finally, the long-awaited moment has arrived: Jhon Arias is now officially a player for Wolves.
The Colombian’s transfer from Fluminense was confirmed just a few days ago, bidding farewell to his Brazilian club after four years of dedicated service.
Arias couldn’t hide his emotions as he said goodbye to Fluminense, ready to follow in Andre’s footsteps by making his way from Rio de Janeiro to Wolves.
With the transfer now complete, fans are eagerly anticipating seeing the new signing in action, especially now that his squad number has been revealed.
Taking on the iconic number ten shirt, Arias is stepping into the next chapter of his career in European football at the age of 27.
Expected to play a crucial role in Vitor Pereira’s plans, the significance of his squad number cannot be understated.
By inheriting the number ten from Matheus Cunha, Arias is aiming to leave a lasting impact at Wolves, setting himself apart from the ill-fated tenure of Patrick Cutrone, who was criticized by club owner Jeff Shi as Wolves’ worst signing.
Among familiar faces like Yerson Mosquera, who is also his international teammate, and Andre, who played alongside him at Fluminense, Arias is already making his mark at Wolves.
His impressive performances during the Club World Cup and throughout the Brazilian football season have raised expectations for his time at Wolves, as he aims to leave a positive legacy in WV1.
With all eyes on the new number ten, Wolves are hopeful that Arias will embody the success of a Cunha-style number ten rather than the disappointment of Cutrone.
