In his time in the Premier League, Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has established himself as one of the best in the business in the top-flight.

The Mexico international has been banging in the goals, left, right and centre for Nuno Espirito Santo's side. In 88 total games for the club, he has racked up 39 goals and 18 assists across all competitions, including finding the back of the net 22 times this season alone.

His record quite simply makes him a must-have for a side like Tottenham. According to ESPN, both Spurs and Arsenal are interested in luring the forward away from Molineux, but he is far more necessary for the former.

Jose Mourinho's side have looked toothless up front without Harry Kane - they couldn't manage a single goal over two legs against RB Leipzig for example in the Champions League for example.

Jimenez would prove to be more than just a valuable back-up for the Lilywhites, instead genuinely pushing Kane for that starting number nine role.

And based on how Mourinho himself has described the Wolves star, then this swoop becomes a no-brainer. After seeing Nuno's team beat Spurs earlier this season, the north London side's boss remarked: "They have Jimenez yes, fantastic player, and they have that incredible counter attack which is very difficult to stop, especially if you don't have that mentality they showed."

With a couple of seasons under his belt in the top-flight, Jimenez would be able to hot the ground running for Spurs. Signing someone from abroad would obviously take some adaptation time, whereas the Mexican wouldn't.

It's exactly why Mourinho's side simply have to be at the the top of the conversation when it comes to clubs competing for the 6 foot 3 striker's signature.

Meanwhile, this former Spurs ace proved Mauricio Pochettino wrong.
