Raúl Jiménez returns to Wolverhampton: The Mexican idol will seek promotion to the Premier League
The Aztec striker signed for two years with the Wolves and will be the club's big offensive bet to return to the Premier League.
The story between Raúl Jiménez and Wolverhampton adds a new chapter. The Mexican forward will return to the club where he reached his best level in European football and became one of the greatest figures of the English institution.
After several years away from Molineux, the 34-year-old attacker will once again wear the Wolves shirt, a team that was relegated this season to the Championship, England's Second Division, and which now trusts in the Mexican's experience and scoring ability to fight for an immediate return to the Premier League.
Raúl Jiménez returns to the club where he made history
The English institution itself confirmed the return of the national team through an official statement in which it highlighted the legacy it left during its first stage.
"The Mexican returns to the Wolves on a two-year contract with the option of another, having secured a place among the best strikers to have represented Old Gold in history, and the greatest in the club's Premier League era. During his first spell in the team's shirt between 2018 and 2023, Jiménez scored 57 goals in 166 games, helping to transform the Wolves from a newly promoted team into one of the most feared in English football," the team explained in a statement.
The numbers that turned Raúl Jiménez into a Wolves legend
During his first adventure in England, Raúl Jiménez established himself as one of the most important forwards in Wolverhampton's recent history. Between 2018 and 2023 he played 166 official matches and scored 57 goals, figures that placed him among the club's top offensive references.
Its impact was immediate. The Mexican led a team that went from fighting for permanence to competing face to face against the main powers of English football, earning the recognition of the fans and the entire Premier League.
The injury that changed his career
When he was going through one of the best moments of his professional career, Raúl Jiménez suffered a skull fracture in a match against Arsenal in 2020, an injury that put his career at risk and kept him off the field for several months.
Despite the difficulties, the attacker showed enormous strength to return to the competition and recover his level, a situation that further strengthened the bond with the followers of the English club.
"Raúl was the central figure of the team that competed fearlessly against the English elite, and led the most memorable performances, now he returns to the club where he became a Premier League star. His resilience after the serious head injury he suffered against Arsenal in 2020 and the determination he showed to regain his best level only reinforced the admiration that fans felt for him," the club added.
Wolverhampton bets on Raúl Jiménez to return to the Premier League
With the aim of regaining its place in the highest category of English football, Wolverhampton has once again placed its trust in Raúl Jiménez, a footballer who knows the institution, the demands of the league and who has already proven to be capable of making a difference.
The return of the so-called “Tepeji Wolf” generates excitement among Wolves fans, who hope that the Mexican will once again be the protagonist and lead the project that seeks to return the club to the Premier League as soon as possible.
