Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have praised Raul Jimenez, after the Mexican striker impressed on debut.

Jimenez actually missed a penalty during Wolves friendly with Bochum in the shoot out, after the two sides drew 0-0 in normal time.

However, the new arrival at Molineux impressed with his display, with Wolves fans now excited to see more from their new number nine.

Wolves have signed Jimenez on loan from Benfica for the season, and he is expected to have a big part to play for Nuno’s side.

Jimenez will be in competition with the likes of Diogo Jota for a place up-front for Wolves in the upcoming season.

Raul Jimenez of Mexico looks on during the International Friendly match between Mexico v Scotland at Estadio Azteca on June 2, 2018 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Jimenez is highly rated by Mexican supporters, and only recently has returned from the World Cup, where he was selected to represent his country.

Jimenez is likely to be used frequently over the rest of pre season by Nuno, as the Wolves boss looks to get his new striker fully acclimatised to life at Molineux.

Wolves’ first Premier League match comes at the start of August, when they take on Everton.
