Wolves are waiting to announce the signing of Jhon Arias from Fluminense.
The 27-year-old winger has bid farewell to the Brazilian club ahead of his transfer to the West Midlands.
Fluminense have already confirmed Arias’ transfer to Wolves, with the Premier League club now waiting to finalise the deal.
The reaction to Arias’ transfer is very telling, as Vitor Pereira prepares to welcome the highly-rated wide player to his Wolves squad.
Jhon Arias could make Jorgen Strand Larsen even better
Wolves are about to acquire an exciting player in Arias, who has been a remarkable servant to Fluminense.
The Colombia international’s dream was to play in Europe, and now, his lifelong goal is about to be granted.
Pereira will be excited to have Arias join, as will Andre, his former teammate at Fluminense, but they aren’t the only ones.
When looking at Arias’ career record, it’s fair to say that Jorgen Strand Larsen could have a blast playing alongside the winger.
| Player | Position | Joint goal participations |
| German Cano | Centre-forward | 27 |
| Martinelli | Defensive midfield | 7 |
| Ganso | Attacking midfield | 7 |
| Samuel Xavier | Right-back | 4 |
| Keno | Left-wing | 4 |
That’s because, when it comes to joint goal participations, no one has combined more times with Arias than German Cano, Fluminense’s veteran centre-forward.
The 37-year-old combined as many as 27 times for a goal with Arias, suggesting that the winger combines best with centre-forwards.
Strand Larsen will surely be excited by the statistic, as the Norwegian could be taken to the next level by having another goalscoring threat added to the front line.
Given that Arias finds the most joy combining with strikers, Strand Larsen could be taken to the next level by his new teammate, whom he could fuse with for goals and assists.
Strand Larsen’s favourite teammate at Wolves
Arias and Cano created an unstoppable partnership at Fluminense and now, the Colombian will hope to do the same with Strand Larsen.
At Wolves, the Norway international also has a teammate that he’s found the most joy playing alongside, with the results being quite a surprise.
Since signing for the Old Gold, no player has recorded more joint contributions with Strand Larsen than Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
The pair have combined four times, with Rayan Ait-Nouri coming in second with three goal contributions alongside the striker.
Arias’ lively presence and playmaking mastery will undoubtedly have a positive impact on Strand Larsen, which is something fans will look out for when the pair finally meet.
