SIMON JONES: Primarily a central defender‚ Araujo would also also provide cover at right back for Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley‚ whose knee injury is set to continue sidelining him for the opening months of the 2026-27 season. The deal is a straight loan for the 27-year-old‚ who signed a new contract until 2031 last year. The centre back will add to Andoni Iraola's options at the heart of his defence following the departure of Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid.
