The Mexican International on loan from Benfica to Wolves has taken the Premier League by storm this season, by helping his club to the 7th position in the Premier League and his recent exploit being scoring against Manchester United to eliminate them from the FA Cup, to book a semi-final spot.

The 27 year old has good experience of the Premier League, and has proven that he can handle the physicality of the league, and still manage to score some exceptional goals for his club.

He has 12 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League alone, and an additional 3 goals in the FA Cup, this season.

Jimenez's loan tenure ends with this season, and then the striker is supposed to return to his original club, Benfica. Chelsea might just negotiate some deal with Benfica to land the striker as he would be one of the perfect signings in that position for the club.

Also, Chelsea has bought some really good players from Benfica over the course of the last decade in the likes of David Luiz, Nemanja Matic and Ramires, so the club is used to dealing with the Portuguese club over negotiations.
