The Mexican striker is Fulham's top scorer along with Brazilian Willian Borges in the current Premier League campaign.
Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez seems to be recovering the level that made him shine in the Premier League and awaken the interest of important clubs in European football. The Fulham striker contributed a goal in the win over West Ham last weekend, bringing him to four goals this season to equal figures such as Julián Álvarez and Darwin Núñez.

The Mexican Wolf arrived at the London team last summer after being passed over by Wolverhampton; His first weeks with Fulham were complicated, but coach Marco Da Silva gave him confidence and today Jimenez is having a great moment.


The America youth player from Liga MX has scored four goals this season, his victims have been Aston Villa; Nottingham Forest on two occasions; and West Ham at the weekend. In this way, the 32-year-old forward is the club's top scorer this season along with Brazilian Willian Borges.


Likewise, Jiménez's good moment puts him on a par with figures such as Julián Álvarez, world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022 and one of the figures of Manchester City; in addition to Darwin Núñez, Liverpool's scorer, who has four goals this season. However, the Mexican is still far from the top scorer in the Premier League that belongs to the Norwegian Erling Haaland with 14 goals; followed by Mohamed Salah (11) and Son Heung-Min (10).
