Premier League attacker Raul Jimenez has categorically ruled out a move away from Wolves this summer following reported interest from Tottenham.

Speaking on Facebook Live, the Mexican international revealed he is happy at Wolves and that he is eager to qualify for the Champions League with the West Midlands-based club, where Jimenez has again been thriving in the Premier League with the former Benfica man hitting 13 goals in 29 league appearances this season.

Wolves have improved on their seventh-place finish from the 2018/19 season with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side currently five points off Chelsea in fourth place and only two of Manchester United in fifth in the league table, and for Jimenez, the striker wouldn’t leave the club even if they missed out on Champions League football.

German striker Jurgen Klinsmann spent two years at White Hart Lane in separate spells, but how many league goals did he contribute?

The Mexican striker said: “I have a contract until 2023. It’s not that we (Wolves) have to qualify for the Champions League in order to stay. I good (here), happy with Wolves, doing important things – me as well as the whole team. We’ve been trying our best since the start of last season.”

With Wolves valuing the 28-year-old striker at £100m according to The Sun via Eye Football, Spurs were always in an uphill battle to sign Jimenez in the summer transfer window, but these latest comments have all but shot down any attempt for Tottenham to prize the Europa League side from their key attacker.

Tottenham could have to shop for attackers this summer with Goal reporting that Harry Kane’s future at the club is uncertain, and if Spurs are to lose their main talisman in the window, a striker like Jimenez, who ESPN reported was on the radar for the north London club, would have been the ideal replacement given his goalscoring record in the Premier League since joining Wolves.
