Newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers, under the leadership of Nuno Santo, have impressed everyone with their performance in the Premier League. They finished the season at 7th place on the table, accumulating 57 points in the process.

While every member of the Wolves squad has equally played his part in this success, one player who stands out is the former Atlético Madrid and Benfica striker, Raúl Jiménez.

The 28-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided 7 assists in his debut season in the Premier League. He has been a crucial part of Wolves' dream first season back in the top light of English football.

The club has fittingly rewarded Jiménez by making him the most expensive Mexican player ever, paying a club-record of £30 million to Benfica and hence making the on-loan striker's move to the club permanent.
