Raul Jimenez's Wolves return: Mexican striker's comeback aged 35 has captured supporters' imagination at Molineux

The most romantic signing of the summer came early. Raul Jimenez is back at Wolves. And for the club's supporters, they are not so much welcoming back a former favourite but revisiting a chapter of their own lives. For a generation, Jimenez is the Wolves No 9.

He was the striker who arrived just when Wolves were rediscovering themselves. Promotion became Europe. The best came to Molineux and were beaten. Now, he is returning with Wolves at a low ebb. But this second coming has rejuvenated the club.

The evidence has been overwhelming since Jimenez's signing was confirmed after three seasons away. It was not just the emotional announcement video, although that certainly captured the imagination, instantly transforming the mood after relegation.

Consider the social media numbers. Since signing for Wolves, each of the club's top 10 most engaged posts have been about Jimenez. The club has been blown away by the response across platforms. Their most engaged Instagram post anyone can remember.
