Raul Jimenez delighted with new Wolves contract

Raul Jimenez is delighted with his new contract at Wolves.

The striker has signed terms to 2024.

He said, “I am delighted to be here and to be at this great club. Since I was a little boy, I just wanted to play, I wanted to enjoy it, live it, and that's why I am here for.

“They give me all the confidence and the opportunity to be an important guy at the front, and that's what I was looking for when I arrived into Europe, and I'm very happy to continue at this club.

“It didn't take much persuading! It was easy for me to say yes because since the beginning, this is what I was looking for.

“The last two seasons we have given very good performances, so I knew this club has something special and I'm part of a big family here.

“I think Wolves are getting the best out of me, and I'm giving Wolves my best football, but they are giving the best to me too."

Raul added: “We are happy here. We are now with the baby – so I have some good days, some not so good – but we are now at home.

“We like it here because it's quiet, the people are very warm and even when we go to walk with the dogs, sometimes the people recognise me and just say hi.

“You can be outside like you are one of them. You can't do that in Mexico City, you can't do that in Portugal, so I'm very happy to be here in this city."
