Latest: Agent confirms interest in Copa Libertadores hero linked with Wolves

The latest update on Wolverhampton Wanderers, reported by BirminghamLive, centers on the potential transfer of Jhon Arias. It appears that Arias has garnered attention from “several Premier League teams,” with Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham among the clubs linked to him.

Arias’s agent, in a conversation with Gol Caracol, as reported by HITC, confirmed the 26-year-old winger’s appeal to English top-flight clubs. Crystal Palace has also been associated with Arias, who is known for his versatility in playing on either flank. He boasts a record of nine goals and 13 assists from 54 games this season and notably played the full duration of his team’s 2-1 extra-time victory over Boca Juniors on Sunday.

 

 

Agent Alex Viveros offered some insights into Arias, describing him as a dedicated and composed player. Viveros also mentioned the support provided by his partner, Gianfranco, who has played a significant role in Arias’s career in Brazil. Together, they closely monitor his career’s important aspects.

Jhon Arias’s agent praised his client, stating that he is among the top players in Brazilian football, a league widely regarded as one of the most challenging in the world. This recognition has naturally piqued the interest of several Premier League teams. Arias’s future will be determined by the opportunities and requirements of clubs abroad, as per his agent’s comments.

Arias, originally from Colombia, began his career at Patriotas before moving on to America de Cali and Sante Fe. In 2021, he secured a four-year contract with Fluminense. He has also earned ten international caps for his national team.

Regarding Wolverhampton Wanderers, it seems they have made progress in addressing their Financial Fair Play concerns that affected their transfer activities in the summer. However, they are not entirely unrestricted in their spending yet. Their January transfer investments could likely be directed towards bolstering their options up front, with Gary O’Neil reportedly seeking to enhance the team’s attacking choices.
