Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has been linked with a move to Arsenal this weekend and some fans have been laughing off suggestions the Mexican will move to The Emirates.

The French news outlet, Le10 Sport, claimed that Jimenez headed a four-man shortlist of players the Gunners were keen on bringing to the club this summer.

It is, to be honest, a strange link, especially given their positions in the table. The Gunners are struggling to finish in the top eight, while Wolves have been pushing for Champions League football.

Jimenez, on a personal level, has been in magnificent form. He’s banged in 26 goals for Wolves and been an almost ever-present for Nuno Santo.

Twitter, then, was awash with comments from Wolves supporters, as well as fans of other clubs, who questioned why Jimenez might even consider this move.

With that, here’s a look at just how some fans reacted to the Arsenal’s interest in Raul Jimenez.
