Missing Raúl Jiménez? The new Eden Hazard that covers him at Wolverhampton and is worth millions

On Premier League Week 13 Wolverhampton defeated 2-1 Chelsea in a tough game that Raúl Jiménez couldn’t play. The Mexican attacker, who was so far the great start of his team his season, suffered a tremendous injury in his head and won’t be able to play again until next year.

Jiménez crashed his head against David Luiz on the game between Wolves and Arsenal and suffered a skull fracture. Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo is trying to replace him with a signing but, for now, he decided to trust both Fábio Silva and Pedro Neto as the attackers of his team.

Nevertheless, on the game against Chelsea, it was another top player from Wolverhampton the one who occupied the role from Jiménez. Daniel Podence, known as the new Eden Hazard due to his tremendous quality and skills scored the first goal of his team to set the equalizer, that ended on a victory thanks to Neto.

Podence is an attacker or offensive midfielder aged 25 who arrived Wolves for $20 million from Olympiakos on January of this year. The comparison with Hazard arrived fast, as they both have similar ways to play. Until now, the Portuguese has played 26 matches since his arrival to his new club, scoring four goals and giving four assists.
