Wolves sign Colombia winger Arias for £15m

Wolves have signed Colombia international Jhon Arias from Fluminense for an initial £15m.

The deal includes a further £4m in add-ons, which includes European qualification.

The 27-year-old winger moves to Molineux on a four-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

He will take the number 10 shirt left by Matheus Cunha after his £62.5m move to Manchester United last month.

Arias can play on the left and right, although he is not viewed as a direct replacement for Cunha.

Arias played at the Club World Cup this summer as Fluminense reached the semi-finals, where they were beaten by Chelsea, and will reunite with Wolves midfielder Andre, who he played with at Fluminense, and international team-mate Yerson Mosquera.

He has 31 caps for Colombia and won the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense in 2023 and leaves having played 229 times for the Brazilian side.

Arias becomes Vitor Pereira’s second signing of the summer after midfielder Fer Lopez joined from Celta Vigo.
