Latest Wolves transfer news as striker Raul Jimenez appears set for a medical at Fulham ahead of a £5.5million move
Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is ‘set to join’ Premier League rivals Fulham for £5.5million plus add-ons.
The striker will leave Wolves’ Portugal training camp, with a medical at the west London side scheduled for Monday, according to multiple reports. He will move on after five season with the club, in which he made 166 appearances and scored 57 goals.
He scored just three goals last season, all of which came in the Carabao Cup, despite making 20 appearances in all competitions. With a year left on his Wolves contract, he is now on the verge of joining Fulham.

Jimenez initially joined Wolves on loan from Benfica in 2018, before making his stay at Molineux permanent the following year. He scored 44 goals across his first two season with the club, before suffering a fractured skull away at Arsenal in November 2020.
He has scored a total of 13 goals over the last three seasons, having struggled to recover the form he showed during his first two years at the club.
His exit will make him the seventh senior player to leave Wolves this summer. The striker will follow Rúben Neves, Diego Costa, Joao Moutinho, Adam Traore, Conor Coady and Nathan Collins out of the exit door as Julen Lopetegui rebuilds his squad for another Premier League season.
