Jhon Arias set to join Wolves after €20m deal agreed with Fluminense

The 27-year-old, a standout performer in the Brazilian club's 2023 Copa Libertadores triumph, has accepted personal terms, with travel arrangements now being finalised ahead of his move to the Premier League.

His arrival marks a significant coup for Wolves, who have often struggled to attract and retain high-impact players amid the Premier League's fierce competition. This signing reflects a growing ambition at Molineux as the club looks to break the mould of mid-table constraints and build a more competitive, dynamic squad.

The move also highlights the increasing prominence of global tournaments like the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, which has offered a broader stage for South American talents to shine. Arias' performances in such competitions helped elevate his profile, attracting interest from across Europe before Wolves made their decisive move.

With a blend of flair, work rate and international pedigree, Arias is expected to add much-needed creativity to the team's attack. His signing not only strengthens the squad but signals the club's intent to operate more boldly in the transfer market ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
