Wolves top scorer Raul Jimenez is a target for Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish outlet AS have said Zinedine Zidane is an admirer of Wolves’ number nine, who has scored 22 times in 44 appearances in all competitions this term.

The 28-year-old is apparently seen as the ideal man to ease the workload on long-serving Real centre forward Karim Benzema from next season.

Jimenez previously played in Madrid, for Real’s rivals Atletico.

Wolves, though, are not worried as such speculation has surrounded their top stars throughout the campaign.

Adama Traore was similarly said to be of interest to Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona and Real earlier this season.

Another forward, Diogo Jota was linked with a move to Manchester United, too.
