Wolves: Raul Jimenez will be a long-lasting Wanderer after £30m move

A move for Wolves that is as big as bringing in another top-class striker. The Wanderers are inches away from making Raul Jimenez theirs for the near and far future.

Wolves return to action this weekend with a tricky fixture facing Burnley. The international break was long and disruptive to teams such as the Wolves. They were on an unbeaten run of three in all competitions, after their final match before the intermission saw them cap off their best result of the trilogy.

They knocked Man United out of the FA Cup, a cup the Manchester side are so familiar with progressing through to the final in. Raul Jimenez was the forefront of this huge triumph over one of England’s greatest powers. He scored the first goal which led to his team’s 2-1 victory. He was also responsible for getting Liverpool evicted out of the cup.

This, plus many other winning goals have been put away by the Mexican. He has been a thorn in the opposition side, a saviour to the people of Wolverhampton, as well as one of the most contributing strikers in the Premier League.

Raul Jimenez has been directly involved in eight goals against all of the top-six sides in all competitions. He scored six goals and then furthermore assisted the team with two.

The only two teams he failed to score against of the top six were Man City and Arsenal. This achievement is followed by his amazing numbers in the Premier League and FA Cup. Man alone he has scored 12 league goals and created six. In the FA Cup, his goal tally is a collection of three match winners.

People have all been talking about Sterling and his form, domestically and internationally. However, this man has been equally impressive across the two scenes. He has scored in all of his last four starts, which includes his most recent country friendly, while two of them came against Chelsea and Man United.
