While this may be challenging, there are multiple positions in Wolves’ first team that need strengthening.
One area is the attack, with the depth particularly low up top which has caused issues throughout 2024.
However, Wolves may have now found a solution through Arias. In May, Wolves have been linked with Arias as the Colombian continues to impress.
