Gabriel Agbonlahor has expressed his shock that Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready to sell Raul Jimenez to Fulham.

According to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, Fulham have agreed a deal with Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign Raul Jimenez in the summer transfer window.

The Italian journalist has claimed that the Cottagers will pay Wolves £5.5 million in transfer fees for the 32-year-old striker.

Fulham are on the verge of losing star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, and it seems that the London club have moved quickly to bring in Jimenez as a potential replacement.

Mitrovic has made 128 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The striker has scored 38 goals and given 11 assists in those matches.

Former Aston Villa striker and talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor is shocked that Wolves are now about to sell Jimenez.

Agbonlahor believes that on his day, the Mexico international striker is a top player.

Wolverhampton Wanderers selling Raul Jimenez to Fulham is not surprising

We are not surprised at all that Wolverhampton Wanderers are willing to sell Raul Jimenez to Fulham in the summer transfer window.

While Jimenez has been very good for Wolves over the years, he is 32 now and is past his best.

The Mexico international is not going to get any better.

Jimenez was out of contract at Wolves in the summer of 2024.

The striker has not been at his best since his head injury.

Jimenez made eight starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Wolves last season.

The Mexican star gave one assist in those games.

The striker has scored 135 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Jimenez has scored 40 goals and given 18 assists in those games.
