Tony Pulis said on Sky Sports News (2:35pm, October 17, 2020) that Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez is second behind Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane in terms of his work ethic.

The former West Bromwich Albion manager, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Kane is the most hard working striker in the Premier League.

Pulis said that Wolves star Jimenez is second only to Kane in terms of working for his team.

The former Premier League manager said about Jimenez regarding his work-rate as a striker on Sky Sports News (2:35pm, October 17, 2020): “If you take Kane out of the mix, I think the next pick, if you pick, you would be picking him. I think he has been absolutely outstanding for Wolves. He has led the line really, his work rate.”
