"Wolves need the powerful Colombia winger Jhon Arias, a standout performer for Fluminense at the Club World Cup, to have an immediate impact."
"The squad appears undercooked after another round of headline departures, with Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri who, combined, contributed to 59% of their 54 goals last season, departing for Manchester."
"The mood surrounding the club is subdued, with supporters frustrated at the owner, Fosun, owing to a perceived lack of ambition heading into their eighth consecutive season in the top tier."
"A winless pre-season served to exacerbate concerns that they will at best stand still."
Wolves seek to avoid relegation after narrowly escaping it last season. Coach Vitor Pereira reversed their poor start, ensuring survival by mid-March.

With a winless pre-season and a subdued atmosphere among supporters frustrated at ownership, Wolves need effective new players like Jhon Arias to make an immediate impact. The team’s lack of preparation and high-profile exits raise concerns about their performance in the upcoming season.
