Belgium coach Martinez admits he's a fan of Wolves striker Raul Jimenez

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez admits he's a fan of Wolves striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mexico international has shone this season at Molineux.

And Martinez says: "He's played every Premier League game since Wolves got promoted, which is an incredible stat, but more importantly, he has found his club.

“I think it's a perfect fit. He's a number nine who is having the best moment of his career after travelling to Spain, he was then in Benfica, but something was always missing.

“He's already played more than 80 games for a national team like Mexico, and I remember two years ago we [Belgium] played him and he had everything. He's good in the air, he's someone who can move well and you can see how well he can link with his team-mates up front."
