Wolves sign Arias from Fluminense as Cunha replacement

Wolves have completed the signing of Fluminense forward Jhon Arias for an initial fee of £15m.

Arias has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with Vitor Pereira’s side, with an option of a further 12 months at Molineux.

The 27-year-old made over 100 appearances in his native Colombia across spells with Patriotas, America de Cali and Santa Fe before joining Fluminense in 2021.

He played 253 times for the Brazilian side across all competitions, scoring 48 goals and providing 57 assists.

Arias’ four-year stint with Fluminense saw him help the club lift their first Copa Libertadores in 2023, alongside new Wolves team-mate Andre.

He also won the Recopa Sudamericana and Campeonato Carioca twice, though it was his performances at the recent Club World Cup that caught the eye.
