Wolves fans will soon see Jhon Arias in action, after he completed his move to the club from Fluminense last week.
Jhon Arias became Wolves’ second signing of the summer, with Wolves paying around £18 million for the Colombian.
It is hoped that Arias – as a player who is just coming into his prime years – will hit the ground running quickly for Wolves.
Arias has assumed the number 10 shirt that was worn by Matheus Cunha, so many are optimistic that he will deliver, just as the Brazilian did before him.
Hopefully Arias will settle in very quickly, and Domenico Teti was on hand to talk Wolves up while the player was going for his medical.

Domenico Teti assures Jhon Arias he will love being part of Wolves ‘family’
Arias sent a lengthy and emotional message when he left Fluminense.
He had built up a strong connection with their fans, and they adored him for the contributions he made during his time there.
It will be important for Arias to feel the love in the same kind of way at Wolves, and new director of professional football Domenico Teti has assured Arias the club he’s just joined will feel like a family.
Teti told Arias at his medical in new footage released by Wolves: “Let me tell you something. We are a family. I also arrive not so long ago.
“But it’s a family ambience and that helps a lot. It’s a club that’s very connected to the city.
“The fans are great, you’ll see. You’re going to enjoy it a lot.”
Teti can also be heard saying to Arias to try and be back in Wolverhampton on the 30th July, ready to start training on the 31st.
Arias, of course, has just been involved at the Club World Cup and before that was in the middle of the Brazilian season with Fluminense.
Arias could be a major hit at Wolves
There are very high hopes for Arias because he’s a player Wolves have tracked for a while, and is someone who can make an impact now.
Also, in their scouting report of the player, Wolves said they received ‘resoundingly positive’ character references about Arias.
It sounds like he could end up being a very popular player at Molineux.
Yerson Mosquera already praised Arias, having played with him in the Colombia national team, and Andre also knows about his qualities having been at Fluminense with him.
All being well, Arias will endear himself to the Molineux faithful just like someone who came in for similar money earlier this year, Emmanuel Agbadou.
