There were high hopes for Jhon Arias when he joined in the summer transfer window, but it couldn’t have gone much worse for him at Wolves.
After Matheus Cunha’s exit, there was always going to be a lot of expectation and pressure on a player like Jhon Arias, who is trying to find his way in the Premier League for the first time.
He’s yet to provide a goal or an assist in 15 appearances for Wolves.
What will it take for Jhon Arias to come good at Wolves?🤔
The most frustrating thing is that Wolves fans know there’s a player in there, as evidenced by his Club World Cup performances, where he left Enzo Fernandez blown away as the most creative player.
With the January transfer window right around the corner, there is a big decision to make for Wolves if there are no clear signs of improvement.
Jhon Arias unlikely to leave Wolves in January
Fluminense have been linked with a move to sign Arias in January, but everything points towards a January move being unlikely at this point.
However, a new report has emerged from UOL, which states that Fluminense remains a priority in Brazil in case of return, but Palmeiras is keeping an eye on it.
Interestingly, there was a new consultation with the player’s representatives.
But, on the player’s side, he is unlikely to leave Wolverhampton in this transfer window.
It’s a difficult decision for Wolves to make…⌛
What positions do Wolves need to target in January?
There could well be an argument for every position needing to be strengthened in January, but in terms of priority, a creative midfielder, a tricky winger and a goalkeeper.
Interestingly, it has been claimed that Wolves are closing in on Patrik Mercado, who fits the mould of an attacking midfielder who contributes in the final third.
Who is the one player you want Wolves to sign in the January transfer window? 🤑
Surely Dwight McNeil has to be up there… 🤔
James Trafford is another name who has been floated around, though there will likely be plenty of sides higher than Wolves in the Premier League that will seek his services.
Sam Johnstone has made the goalkeeping position his own, but even he has been prone to errors at times, which was evident against Nottingham Forest last time out.
