Santiago Arias Naranjo (born 13 January 1992 in Medellín, Colombia) is a Colombian footballer who plays as a right back for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.
Credited by his staggering pace, Arias is renowned for his attacking nature to that of a winger. All while committing to a defensive role.[1][2][3]
Club career
Arias was a youth product of the La Equidad academy. He was moved into the senior squad during 2009 which led him into becoming a regular. After a successful spell, he soon moved to Portugal.
Sporting CP
While representing the U20 national Colombian side in 2011, Arias attracted the scouts of Sporting CP, where he spent most of his playing time with the B-Squad. He occasionally made appearances with the first squad, but never broke in for a permanent spot.
PSV
In early 2013, Arias was linked to the Dutch club PSV but nothing was finalized.[4] In July 2013, Arias was once again linked to the club where both parties agreed on finalizing a deal. It was then reported that Arias signed a four-year contract and PSV paid Sporting €1.6 million for a package deal including fellow Sporting CP team-mate Stijn Schaars.[5][6][7] Upon his arrival, Arias was handed the number 13 shirt. He made his league debut on 3 August, playing a full 90 minutes in a 2-3 away win against ADO Den Haag.[8]
International career
Youth
Santiago Arias was part of Colombia U17 team who finished fourth in the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, playing all matches (except third place match, making a total of 6 appearances) and scoring the first penalty during quarter-final penalty shoot-out against Turkey.
In 2011, Santiago Arias played all 9 matches for Colombia U20 team when they finished sixth in the 2011 South American Youth Championship. Eduardo Lara, Colombia's coach, also called him for the 2011 Toulon Tournament where Arias, who started all 5 matches, was part of Colombia's team that reached and won the final.
Senior
In September 2013, Arias received his first call up for Colombia's senior team to dispute the 2014 World Cup qualifying matches against Chile and Paraguay, following first choice Camilo Zúñiga's injury.[9] He made his debut against Paraguay and played the entire match in a 1-2 away victory.
