Wolves hero Edwards: Raul key to Euro hopes

Wolves hero Dave Edwards believes Raul Jimenez is key to their European hopes this season.

Edwards wrote for the Express & Star: "Thursday (defeat to Arsenal) had me questioning where Wolves were going to go, but in typical style they bounced back and proved me wrong straight away and Raul Jimenez found that aggression against Spurs which we all know he has but has been missing for a couple of months.

"It was probably one of his best performances of the season. When he plays well, Wolves play well, it is as simple as that.

"He makes the ball stick and brings players into play. He doesn't give defenders a second with his work-rate off the ball and he bullies them in all aspects.

"Unfortunately he hasn't been on that form enough this season, which you can understand with what he's been through in the last year, but if he can replicate that performance more often it will give Wolves a platform to build off."
