Raúl Jiménez, with 53 Premier League goals, has tied Javier "Chicharito" Hernández as the highest-scoring Mexican in the league’s history. This achievement cements the "Wolf of Tepeji" as one of the most remarkable forwards in european football, with a current market value of €5 million.

Goals that defined his career

Since his arrival in Europe in 2014 with Atlético de Madrid, Raúl Jiménez has showcased his ability to adapt and excel. His peak came with Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored 40 of his 53 Premier League goals, becoming the club’s all-time top scorer in the competition. After five seasons with the Wolves, he moved to Fulham in 2023, continuing to add to his legacy.

Jiménez has not only impressed with the quantity of goals but also with their variety. Of his 53 goals:

  • 26 were scored with his right foot.
  • 7 with his left foot.
  • 12 with his head.
  • 8 from the penalty spot.

Among his favorite opponents, West Ham stands out, having conceded 6 goals to him. Southampton and Everton follow with 5 goals each. Against 'Big Six' clubs, he has delivered notable performances, scoring 7 combined goals against Tottenham and Arsenal.

A career-altering injury

On November 29, 2020, Raúl suffered a severe skull fracture during a match against Arsenal, putting his footballing future and overall health in jeopardy. Defying expectations, he returned to the pitch in the 2021-22 season, displaying incredible resilience. While his scoring rate dipped during his recovery, he has shown flashes of his best form this season with Fulham, tallying 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 matches.

Financial impact and market value

In March 2020, Jiménez reached his peak market value of €50 million, doubling the highest figure ever achieved by Javier Hernández. However, his 2020 injury caused a steep decline in his valuation, currently standing at €5 million. Despite this, his experience and skill have kept him relevant in one of the world’s most competitive leagues.

Jiménez's move to Fulham in 2023 cost €6.4 million, contributing to the over €79 million generated from transfers throughout his career. His transfer history includes the following moves:

  • 2023: Wolverhampton → Fulham for €6.4 million
  • 2019: Benfica → Wolverhampton for €38 million
  • 2018: Benfica → Wolverhampton (loan) for €3 million
  • 2015: Atlético de Madrid → Benfica for €22 million
  • 2014: Club América → Atlético de Madrid for €10.5 million

With 109 international appearances and 35 goals for Mexico, Raúl Jiménez has been instrumental in tournaments like the Gold Cup and the Confederations Cup. His leadership and experience have established him as a key figure both for his clubs and the Mexican national team.

In the current Premier League season, Jiménez's impact remains significant. His performances for Fulham under Marco Silva have solidified his reputation as a reliable striker, especially in matches against top teams like Arsenal and Tottenham. His knack for delivering in crucial moments keeps him a pivotal player in his squad.
