Does Wolves striker Raul Jimenez have support of manager Nuno Espirito Santo?
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly prioritising the signing of a new centre-forward in the January transfer window.
, the Portuguese boss wants to bring in a high-profile striker to Molienux in the winter window and he will receive the financial backing to do so from the board.
The report also details that the West Midlands club would also like some further cover in central midfield and the right-back position.
Wolves have managed just nine goals in their opening nine Premier League games, which is why improving their frontline does make sense as they can’t continuously rely on a formidable defence.
But is there a lack of faith in current first-choice striker Raul Jimenez?
The 27-year-old attacker is on loan at Wolves this campaign from Benfica and started the season strongly, scoring two goals and supplying three assists in return.
Jimenez has proven he’s got the qualities to lead the line effectively by himself and his manager Nuno has shown faith in him by starting him in every league games so far.
New plans to sign a new centre-forward isn’t really a lack of faith in Jimenez, but more the fact that Wolves are just an injury away from some serious trouble.
Leo Bonatini is not the the best back-up option for Nuno to have in reserve in attack and it’s understandable that he needs an entire squad that can cope with the top flight.
Jimenez could still sharpen up in front of goal and added competition in the second half of the season could spur him on.
