Raul Jimenez has responded to speculation linking him with a move to the likes of Chelsea in the summer.
Raul Jimenez, 28, has 10 goals and six assists in the Premier League this season for Champions League hopefuls Wolves, and we believe that he could be a good buy for the Chelsea, especially after Frank Lampard failed to sign any strikers during the January transfer window.
‘I find out [about the links with other clubs] through social media,’ Jimenez said on the Metro website ‘They have already put me at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and every day comes out a new team that want [to sign] me.
‘I have to be calm. If they are talking about me it is because I am doing things well; I would like to continue in England. I am happy, adapted and I like the idea [of staying in the Premier League].
‘If you tell me that tomorrow an offer from Real Madrid or Barcelona comes, it is obvious that you do not let such an opportunity go. But if I stay here I am fighting to qualify for the Champions League, for important things. ‘Fighting for the title still seems difficult but we are in the Europe League round-of-16. I think that I made the right decision to come here [to Wolves] and I do not regret it.
‘Leaving the doors open for anything is the most important thing. With Wolves we are fighting for the Champions League, I am happy and I am an important player for the fans and for the team. ‘I am fine, I do not close any doors, I am open to whatever comes but it does not stop me sleeping.’
Raul Jimenez is a top-class striker that is now ready to make a big move to a club like Chelsea, so if the Blues do come calling, it will be very interesting to see if he can turn down such a big opportunity like this. The Blues are in need of another striker, and for £40 million, he could be a very good buy?
