Raul Jimenez is set to sign for Fulham for £5.5 million from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Mexican striker had been at Wolves since 2018 after joining from Benfica in a then club-record £30 million ($40m) deal. But he has been allowed to leave with just one year on his contract at the Molineux.
According to Sky Sports, the 32-year-old will move to Fulham, with the Cottagers agreeing to pay Wolves £5.5m for the Mexican.

Per the report, Jimenez will hold his medical on Monday ahead of a summer switch.
The Mexico international scored 44 goals in his first two seasons for Fulham before suffering a fractured skull away at Arsenal in November 2020. After almost one year on the sidelines following the broken skull injury, he successfully returned to action. But he scored just 15 times since then. He will leave the club with 57 goals in 166 appearances.
He is expected to be Fulham’s replacement for striker Aleksandr Mitrovic who is keen on moving to Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal. The Serbia striker has vowed never to play for the Cottagers again in an attempt to force his move to the Middle East.
