The 20-year-old winger has scored just once for his new club but is tipped for bigger and better things.

Lainez idolises a certain Lionel Messi, saying in this regard:

"I really identify with him. I really like his style of play, and I try to learn from him and do some of the things he does. I look to take players on a lot, play a lot of one-twos, but I also like to shoot from distance. I can play behind the No. 9 or as a midfielder. Whatever is needed, I do it, and I can use both feet very well."

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo recently provided an update on the return of Jimenez, who is out with a fractured skull:

“He’s doing good. We had consultation and the results are amazing, so gradually he will progress, but it’s too soon to predict an exact moment. He’s working by himself, but with a good intensity in his training sessions, so we are really positive and delighted that everything’s going to be OK.”
