Wolves legend John Richards says it is no surprise Raul Jimenez is wanted by Europe's biggest clubs.

Manchester United, Real Madrid and Arsenal have all been linked with Mexico international, who has scored 22 goals for Wolves this season.

Richards told the Express & Star: "I think there's more to come from him to be perfectly honest, and hopefully it will be with Wolves.

"There's no doubt there's going to be clubs who have been watching him – top-ranked clubs, not just in the Premier League but across Europe.

"They'll be thinking 'let's get him in', as he's the sort of player who would improve any team he goes to. When you watch him play, he's a natural."

Richards added: "I would say he's got to be doing it for a little bit longer yet, but he's got all the attributes of a world-class striker.

"I'm sure there are other clubs keeping an eye on him as getting that ratio of goals in the Premier League is just phenomenal, to be honest.

"To get to that sort of level, you've got to do it for four or five seasons. He's not quite there yet, but the potential is there."
