Whilst Jimenez is only on loan at Wolves from Benfica this season but given just how well he's performed for the Midlands side in front of goal, there'll be no doubt that Wolves will try and do all they can to sign him on a permanent deal.

Really, Wolves should have signed him rather than opting for a loan deal, as now the time has come for them to decide whether they should buy him, his market value has shot up from around £13m to about £25m. However, in order for them to pry the Mexican striker away from Benfica, they may have to splash out closer to £40m.

Jimenez has been a revelation this season, showing no signs of slowing down even now. He has scored 12 goals and assisted 8 from 32 matches. Most people were expecting him to have a tricky start as he had to adapt to the Premier League's speed, but he has seemed comfortable in possession and showcases great composure in front of goal, too.
