It looks like reported Liverpool target Raul Jimenez might be open to a move away from Molineux this summer.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers hitman is linked with a move to Anfield.

And earlier this week, the 29-year-old hinted that he might consider a move to Liverpool, describing the speculation as ‘cool’.

Here’s how some Reds fans responded when asked by a fan account on Twitter whether they’d want him on the back of those comments, which were made to Bolavip.

There’s a touch of the Roberto Firminos about Jimenez.

The Mexican attacker isn’t a traditional number nine and therefore you can’t solely judge him on his goal return – he has scored 26 times in 67 Premier League outings.

But he has also set up 13 goals for Wolves, which is quite a decent when you don’t have the likes of Liverpool duo Mo Salah and Sadio Mane either side of you.

Thing is, Jurgen Klopp doesn’t need another Firmino because he already has, well, Firmino, and therefore this one probably isn’t going to happen.
