Wolves striker Raul Jimenez proud of first Premier League season

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is pleased with the progress he's made in his first season in the Premier League.

He has nine top-flight goals to help Wanderers to seventh as the spearhead of Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

Jimenez, 27, said: “Different strikers are happy when they score but you have to think about the team – the assist and movements which can give space for your team mates.

“You can never quit. It's teamwork."

Jimenez joined Wolves while away with Mexico at the World Cup last summer after three years with Benfica and 12 months previously with Atletico Madrid.

Jimenez added: “It's easier to make the jump from Spain and Portugal to here and I want to keep improving."
