The Mexican has enjoyed an impressive season with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to date, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists in 29 Premier League appearances (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk).

When the 29-year-old was asked directly about the subject, the former Atletico Madrid striker had this to say (as per Bolavip via Sport Witness): “It’s something very cool, I don’t know if they are true, they are rumours. Since they are talking about me, different teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool… They are teams that in the history of football are important.”

TIF Thoughts…

Jimenez was extremely open during the interview, naming a host of clubs that he has been linked with a move to in recent months. According to WhoScored.com, his average performance rating in the Premier League currently stands at 7.29/10, suggesting he has played a crucial part in a Wolves side that has enjoyed a successful season to date.

He has started 97% of the club’s league fixtures and according to Transfermarkt.co.uk, he is currently valued at £36m, which suggests the Old Gold may require a substantial bid in order to let one of their key men go.
