But is it a matter of time before he moves on or is he settled enough to stay and help the West Midlands outfit with their current project?
On the transfer speculation, he said, as reported by Metro: “I find out [about the links with other clubs] through social media,’ Jimenez said.
“They have already put me at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and every day comes out a new team that want [to sign] me.
“I have to be calm. If they are talking about me it is because I am doing things well; I would like to continue in England. I am happy, adapted and I like the idea [of staying in the Premier League].
“If you tell me that tomorrow an offer from Real Madrid or Barcelona comes, it is obvious that you do not let such an opportunity go. But if I stay here I am fighting to qualify for the Champions League, for important things.
“Fighting for the title still seems difficult but we are in the Europe League round-of-16. I think that I made the right decision to come here [to Wolves] and I do not regret it.
“Leaving the doors open for anything is the most important thing. With Wolves we are fighting for the Champions League, I am happy and I am an important player for the fans and for the team.
“I am fine, I do not close any doors, I am open to whatever comes but it does not stop me sleeping.”

That’s the same for any player in world football, if they come calling they are gone

If Barca or Real come knocking of course you are going to be interested. If Raul was to leave for either of them I’d wish him well. If he left for spurs or Man Utd I’d be very disappointed in him

He’s better than what Real Madrid have up front at this point in time

Neto made the same comments the other week and he got absolutely slated.

If he’s going to get a bigger move, it’s got to be soon, given his age. I wouldn’t want to sell him to another English club. Keep the asking price high Jeff!
