Wolverhampton Wanderers has the full number to Raúl Jiménez.
When Jiménez joined Benfica two years ago, very few people were defeated by the signing.
The Mexican, who was 27 at the time, had spent his career maximum as a substitute and his goals scored with Benfica and Atletico Madrid at the highest production average.
But his marriage to the Wolves, despite everything made permanent by a club record of 32.6 million pounds, was made in paradise.
Jimenez has scored 30 goals in 76 Premier League games, seven players have controlled more in the last two campaigns. In addition to his league count, Jimenez has scored nine Europa League goals this season, while scoring 4 in the Wolves FA Cup semi-final race last season.
Now there is a genuine argument that Jimenez is one of the top centre forwards in the game.
The interest in Jimenez is new to the Wolves enthusiasts and some of the clubs that would be interested (Juventus, Manchester United and Tottenham, to name a few) attest to their talent.
The wolves desperately need to hold on to him and Nuno Espirito Santo needs a striker who can lighten Jimenez’s burden.
The challenge for wolves is who will signal to play the role of second-choice striker? And that’s all we can offer while Jimenez is still in Molineux.
It is a stage for Himttenham with Harry Kane, who is one of seven to score the most Premier League goals than Jimenez since August 2018.
A dismissal from Kane this year coincided with a six-game win-free streak for the Spurs.
Mauricio Pochettino, and now Jose Mourinho, have sought a rival for Kane without success. Fernando Llorente has held the position for a short time in the Spurs, however, two goals in 36 league games recommend that it be filled well.
Wolves want to find a way to make the description of this task more attractive. His European crusade and the additional games he will bring will not help, but Patrick Cutrone’s misfortune and his quick exit will suffice on their own.
One way or another, wolves will have to locate a high-quality player who won’t throw a scoop if it doesn’t start every week.
So far, Jimenez’s record of availability has been impeccable, however, he is the only player without which the Wolves could not do without for a while.
They controlled without Willy Boly, they would do it without the others too, however, there is simply no one to upgrade To Jimenez.
In addition to the missing defender Nuno was looking for, some other first-class center forward will have to be the priority in the Wolves’ movement window.
