Raul Jimenez Signs 4-Year Contract to Join Wolves for Reported £30M Fee

Raul Jimenez has signed a four-year contract to join Wolverhampton Wanderers permanently from Benfica.

The club announced the 27-year-old's capture on Thursday via their official website and Twitter account:

According to Sky Sports, Wolves have paid a fee thought to be around £30 million, far surpassing the club-record £18 million spent on Adama Traore last year.

The Mexico international had been on loan from Benfica for the season, and he has returned 15 goals and eight assists in 37 appearances across all competitions for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

His efforts have helped Wolves to seventh place in the Premier League and the semi-final of the FA Cup, in which they'll take on Watford on Sunday.
