Wolves have secured Raul Jimenez on a free transfer from Fulham, with the 35-year-old striker signing a two-year deal plus an additional year option. He completed his medical while on international duty with Mexico ahead of their World Cup opener against South Africa on Thursday.

This move reunites Jimenez with the club where he previously scored 57 goals in 166 appearances between 2018 and 2023. His return provides Premier League experience as Wolves prepare for Championship football following their relegation after finishing bottom last season.

The Mexican international joins former England full-back Kieran Trippier, who also signed a two-year deal this summer after leaving Newcastle. Both veterans bring leadership to a squad rebuilding for second-tier competition, marking Wolves' second free signing of the transfer window.

Jimenez's contract with Fulham expires at the end of June, making this return to Molineux a homecoming rather than a costly acquisition. The signing addresses Wolves' need for proven goalscoring options as they aim to bounce back from relegation.
