Joe Cole a fan of Wolves striker Raul Jimenez

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole admits he's a fan of Wolves striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mexico international has been outstanding for Wolves this season.

And Cole told the club's website: “He's a top player and he kind of reminds me of an old-fashioned striker in the way he holds the ball up and flicks it, but then he'll also pop out over to the wings.

“Wolves fans won't thank me for saying this, but if I'm Chelsea, Tottenham or Man United and I have a cheque book ready to go, he's the first name.

“If you want someone who's going to make an instant impact in your team, if you want somebody who ticks all the boxes; he knows the league, he knows the flow of English football.

“It's all well and good being part of a project, but when Man United, Tottenham or Chelsea come for you, it might easily turn your head.

“But for me, he could quite easily play in any one of those teams because he's got so much ability and he's one of my favourite players to watch."
