Mexican great Hugo Sanchez hails Wolves striker Raul Jimenez

Mexican great Hugo Sanchez admits he's been impressed by Wolves striker Raul Jimenez this season.

Sanchez says the Mexico striker could play for Real Madrid or Barcelona in Spain.

He told Marca: "I see him already fully mature. It is true that in Spain he did not do well and in Portugal, more or less. But I am convinced that his moment in Wolves will give him a great opportunity to make the leap to a more important team.

"Raúl, nowadays, knows how to handle himself in a difficult context, he knows how to play, when to drive the ball, pass, finish off ... He has personality and effectiveness, as well as being a leader when required. The team revolves around him and he's already a heavyweight boy in England."
