Wolves: Raul Jimenez takes part in training with squad
Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been urged to sign Raul Jimenez from Wolves. The Mexican striker was on target tonight in the Premier League against Liverpool. All three clubs are looking to improve their frontline in the January transfer window.
United are without Marcus Rashford for three months after he suffered a double stress fracture to the back.
Harry Kane has undergone hamstring surgery and the England captain is in a race to be fit for Tottenham’s push for Champions League football and Euro 2020.
Chelsea are also looking to add depth to their attack with Tammy Abraham the only striker performing for Frank Lampard.

Jimenez has been in sensational form for Wolves this season, netting 19 goals and providing nine assists in all competitions.
And former Chelsea and England star Joe Cole thinks United, the Blues and Spurs should all attempt to sign Jimenez.
“Wolves fans won't thank me for saying this but if I’m Chelsea, Tottenham or Manchester United, with a chequebook ready to go, he’s the first name,” he told BT Sport.

He said: “Another good player we’ve been linked with.
“It’s loads of players being linked with us.
“I thought when he came on he did really well today but I can’t comment on these speculations.”
United currently only have Mason Greenwood as a recognised striker and Solskjaer has admitted he is looking at options after Rashford’s injury.
Jimenez would immediately solve that problem but he would not be available on the cheap.

Probed on whether United desperately need a striker now, Solskjaer explained: “Desperately? Not desperately.
“Of course we’re looking at numbers as well, because we’ve had many injuries.
“So if the right one is there and it will fit for us, we can buy. If there’s loans available it might be possible. But I’ve got players here as well that are chomping at the bit.”
