6 Teams who had the best signings from the 2018 summer transfer window

#4 Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Cardiff City - Premier League

A year after winning promotion, Wolverhampton Wanderers have continued their upward progress under manager Nuno Espírito Santo, with the club currently in eighth place in England's top tier, only behind Watford on goal differential.

Bucked by Chinese investment group Fosun International, which took control of the club in the summer of 2016, Wolves secured permanent transfers for Diogo Jota and Willy Boly, both of which were crucial in last season's promotion push. They also purchased Léo Bonatini, who was vital in the first half of Wolves' Championship-winning season, yet dropped off towards the end.

After finding his opportunities limited, Bonatini left on loan to Nottingham Forest on the January deadline day, and Forest do have a clause to make the transfer permanent.

There's a reason why Bonatini has found opportunities limited this season though, and his name is Raúl Jiménez.

The Mexican international has been involved in 43 per cent of Wolves' league goals, having scored 10 goals and notching five assists. Nuno looked set to have a selection headache at the central forward position, with Jiménez, Bonatini, and Benik Afobe challenging for the starting spot. However, Jiménez has made the position his own, to the extent that the latter two left in January for more game time.

His brute strength and hard running suits the Portuguese manager's style to a tee, and with Javier "Chicharito" Hernández on the wrong side of 30 and finding opportunities at West Ham hard to come by, it's clear that Jiménez is set to take over the central striking position at El Tri.

Jiménez had previously failed to live up to the potential he showed at América, flopping at Atlético Madrid before joining Benfica, first on loan, then on a permanent transfer, becoming the most expensive signing in Portuguese football history, as well as the most expensive Mexican football ever at €22 million.

He's currently still on loan from Benfica, but Wolves are looking to change that, with reports of a £30 million fee close to being agreed upon by the two clubs.

Jiménez isn't the only signal that Wolves are punching above their weight. They've secured a permanent transfer for Spanish international Jonny Castro, as well as Portugal's first-choice goalkeeper Rui Patrício, both of which have seamlessly broke into the starting line-up.

João Moutinho, another Euro '16 winner with Portugal, has added experience and calm in midfield after arriving from Monaco for €5.6 million. And with youngsters Adama Traoré, Leander Dendoncker, and Rúben Vinagre, the future is bright at the Molineux.
