Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has given his reaction to the recent comments made by star striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mexico international caused slight alarm by admitting that a big-money exit from Molineux wouldn’t phase him, in an interview with Marca.

Jimenez has been a revelation for Wolves following his arrival at the club, initially on loan, in the summer of 2018.

He has built an excellent relationship with the supporters, who adore him for his brilliant all-round game and commitment.

It is for that reason his admission has caused a bit of panic, but Espirito Santo has moved to play down fears of an exit.

He said (Sky Sports): “What I know is we’re delighted with Raul. He has been sensational and fantastic for us,” said Nuno. “Being ambitious, having ambitions and dreaming is something that all of us have.

“Our ambitions are built on the present, on a daily basis. What he is doing is amazing – every day of his life is dedicated to Wolves so we are delighted with it.

“We are delighted with him and our present is very good with Raul.”

TBR’s view – Wolves fans should relax

Espirito Santo doesn’t appear to be too concerned about Jimenez’s comments, and the striker did add that he was happy at the club.

Having just signed him permanently, Wolves fans don’t need to worry too much about losing him just yet.

The club are ambitious and keeping Jimenez – who earns £41,000-a-week (Spotrac) – will be key to any future success.

It really would take a mammoth offer to tempt the Black Country club into a sale.
