Fluminense’s Jhon Arias has emerged as a transfer target for several European clubs, including Premier League sides West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, and Burnley.
According to journalist Christian Martin, La Liga giants Atlético Madrid are at the forefront of the race for Arias, with a potential transfer fee in the range of €15 million to €17 million.
The report also mentions strong interest from the aforementioned Premier League clubs. However, it doesn’t specify which team is currently the frontrunner or the potential transfer fees they might offer.
Arias’ strong start to the season, with 5 goals and 2 assists in 14 games for Fluminense, has certainly attracted attention. His upcoming participation in the Copa América is likely to provide him with a platform to further showcase his talents to a wider European audience.
While Martin suggests Arias could receive offers from Europe, it’s unclear which clubs will make concrete proposals.
Jhon Arias’ attacking prowess and upcoming international exposure make him an intriguing prospect for the Irons who are looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer transfer window.
