Wolves have broken their transfer record to sign Raul Jimenez for a reported £30million.

The striker has penned a four-year deal at Molineux having been on loan at the club from Benfica this season.

He is Wolves’ top scorer with 15 goals, which has helped fire the club to seventh in the Premier League and Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Watford.

Mexico international Jimenez spent three years with Benfica, netting 22 times in 101 games after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

The signing of the 27-year-old takes Wolves’ spending to around £164m under owners Fosun and they have broken their transfer record five times.

Adama Traore and Jonny were the previous biggest deals at £18m after signing from Middlesbrough and Atletico Madrid respectively this season.
