Wolverhampton gets ready for a new season with your sights to consolidate in the Premier League. Among the movements that generate the most expectation is the imminent presentation of Jhon Arias, a Colombian flyer who left a mark on Brazilian football and now gets ready for his jump to English football under the direction of an old acquaintance: Víctor Pereira.
The Portuguese coach did not need references: he already knew Arias's talent at first hand after passing through the Brazilian. It was he who took the initiative to contact the player and propose a new chapter together, this time in Europe. That call weighed. Pereira not only sought it; He spoke clearly and with confidence. For Arias, that support was key.
“Vítor knows me, trust me and believes we can achieve important things together,” said Arias from Brazil before his trip to England. It is not common to see this level of prior connection between technician and player in the current signings. This is not a random movement: it is a bet with shared history.
Backup arrival and known faces
Arias's landing in Wolverhampton will not be cold. André, his former partner in Fluminense, awaits him in the locker room. João Gomes, another old rival in the duels against Flamengo, will also be part of the immediate environment of the Colombian. Both are more than known: they are figures that transmit confidence and facilitate adaptation.
And as if that were not enough, Yerson Mosquera will also be, the Colombian defender who returns after a long injury and hopes to recover prominence this season. Wolverhampton adds talent, yes, but also chemistry and previous connections that can make a difference.
Arias does not arrive as a promise without polishing. In Fluminense he consolidated as a figure and lifted the Copa Libertadores. He left the club as an idol, grateful and leaving the door open for a possible return. His stage in Brazil formed it and now drives him to measure himself in one of the most demanding leagues in the world.
While details of his contract are finalized and medical examinations are met, the midfielder prepares to integrate the preseason as soon as possible. It comes with competitive rhythm, which would facilitate its rapid inclusion in the remaining friendly of the club.
