For Wolves fans, the arrival of striker Raúl Jiménez was a genuine game-changer for the club. Having been promoted to the Premier League with a good but incomplete squad, the Mexican was the forward they desperately needed. Hard working, aggressive, and increasingly prolific – there’s a reason why Raúl Jiménez is seen as one of the best forwards in the top flight today.

What makes Raúl Jiménez stand out?

Just about everything, really; Raul is the perfect modern forward. He’s an adept passer of the ball, but he’s equally accomplished at taking the ball in and/or shielding it. He’s a strong, aggressive player who likes to lay in his teammates. The definition of a selfless forward, he’s outstanding at keeping his team in the game when they need an out-ball.

By no means, though, is he merely a target man. No; the Mexican is a slick footballer with an array of finishes in his locker. He’s relatively strong on both feet, and he has a habit of scoring and assisting in the same game. He’s a player that Wolves fans will desperately hope is there to spearhead their charge for many years to come.

What does Raúl Jiménez need to work on?

The only thing that we would say that you could see Raúl Jiménez improving upon is his consistency in front of goal. While he regularly scored a good number of goals, he’s not a player who scored week-in, week-out. Were he to add a bit more consistency to his goal-getting, you could easily see him becoming one of the best forwards in the world.

Capable of dropping deep or playing right off the shoulder, he’s a striker who has it all. If he can add another 5-7 goals per season, though, he’d go up another level entirely.
