Wolves are anticipated to be highly busy in the summer window as they want to return to the Premier League at the first attempt next season.

Rob Edwards failed to have a good impact on the team after his hiring in November, but it was widely acknowledged that he had inherited a group that was nowhere near the quality of the top division.

However, next season will be different, as Wanderers are under pressure to improve, but they have had a bright start to the window, with Andre signing a new contract and Kieran Trippier on the verge of joining.

However, this is only the beginning, and the Molineux playing team may undergo significant changes.

Fulham confirm Raul Jimenez’s departure amid talk of Wolves return.

Each fan will have their own opinion on where Wolves should focus, but most would agree that signing a new striker is critical.

Several number nines have been linked in recent weeks, including Raul Jimenez’s potential return to the club.

The Mexican has become a modern-day legend at Wolves after starring for Nuno Espírito Santo’s club, which was the best seen at Molineux in decades.

After leaving Wolves, Jimenez has continued to excel for Fulham, netting nine Premier League goals last season.

However, with his contract at Craven Cottage ending, the 35-year-old’s future has been called into question, and Jimenez admitted that he has spoken with Wolves about a possible move.

And, in a new development, Fulham have stated that Jimenez will be leaving, putting an end to any hopes of his staying in London longer.

Wolves must do all they can to ensure Raul Jimenez’s return.

This will be a difficult transaction for Wolves to complete, but Fulham’s decision not to keep Jimenez is clearly a positive.

Jimenez’s immediate focus will be to aid Mexico at the World Cup, therefore he will most likely wait until the tournament is over before deciding on his future.

There will undoubtedly be multiple offers on the table for Jimenez, and a successful World Cup will further boost his possibilities, but we do know that Wolves are a club near to his heart.

So, Wolves may have to be patient here, but it could be worth it if they can bring him back to Molineux.

As previously said, he scored nine goals last season and 12 in 2024/25, indicating that he still has much to contribute in front of goal. Furthermore, Jimenez is a cerebral footballer, and his link-up play, movement, and ball-holding skills would make him a superb Championship player.

Edwards would need to manage him carefully over 46 games, but Jimenez is a definite upgrade over what Wolves currently have, and the emotional impact cannot be overstated, as his return would significantly improve the morale around the club.

Finally, Jimenez has a major decision to make about his future after the World Cup, and if Wolves can persuade him to return, it will be a statement signing as they attempt to push for promotion.
