da bet7k: Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is a major threat to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
On the chalkboard
The Mexico international has been in fine form this season, scoring 15 goals in all competitions.
Six of those goals have come in the Premier League and the statistics show that he is something of a complete striker.
No clues whatsoever: Which seasons do these iconic Spurs images belong to?
Per WhoScored, he has also provided four assists throughout the campaign thus far.
He averages 3.1 shots per game, 1.8 key passes and 2.1 dribbles, while he also makes 0.9 clearances and 0.6 tackles throughout the 90 minutes on average.
This is a player who mucks in defensively but who remains a major threat in the opposition penalty area; in his last six games in the top-flight, he has had a hand in a total of five goals.
A major talent
Jimenez has been nothing short of a superb signing for Wolves.
Brought in for a fee of £30m, he has scored 32 goals and registered 15 assists in 71 outings and does a little bit of everything.
Throughout the game on Sunday, Spurs will have to be sure that they find a way to occupy him and keep him quiet.
Football FanCast has previously detailed how Jose Mourinho has unlocked the consistency of Davinson Sanchez.
And the Colombia international will be up against the forward this weekend and, with his statistics showing that he has averaged 1.5 tackles per game, 1.1 interceptions and 3.9 clearances, he will have to be at his very best to keep the 28-year-old quiet.
Failure to do so could result in a long afternoon for the north London giants.
Meanwhile, Spurs are scouting a Kosovo international.
