Raul Jimenez has been on blistering form of late and is attracting interest from Manchester United. The Daily Mail has reported that the Red Devils are eyeing a move for the Mexican this month. Chelsea are also looking for forward reinforcements and should consider making a move for Jimenez themselves.
The Wolves striker has scored 17 goals this season in 32 appearances across all competitions. He has also provided nine assists in those games, proving he is more than just a goalscorer.
The 28-year-old has been a huge part of a Wolves team that has taken the Premier League by storm since returning from the Championship at the start of 2018/19. His 13 Premier League goals last season helped his team to an impressive seventh-place finish, the same spot they are currently sat in.
With eight league goals already this season, Jimenez could beat last season’s total. He is proving to everyone that he is a top-striker. If Chelsea were to make a move for the Mexican, he would not come cheap.
Wolves will understandably not want to part with their top-scorer and can offer the guarantee of the number one striker spot that Chelsea cannot. However, Jimenez may want to seek an opportunity to play in the Champions League.
His proven Premier League prowess makes him an ideal target for the Blues. If the club can convince him to compete for the starting striker spot with Tammy Abraham, it seems like a no brainer.
