Marco Silva has called on Fulham forward Raul Jimenez to show Wolverhampton Wanderers what they are missing at Craven Cottage tomorrow night.

The Mexican international made a surprise £5.5m move from Molineux in the summer after scoring 57 goals in 166 games for Wolves but had struggled to make much of an impact at his new club following the departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic. The 32 year-old grabbed his first goal for the Whites in a 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa before the international break and Silva believes that the end of the veteran’s lengthy goalscoring drought plus the prospect of facing Wolves could give his striker a boost.

“We all know it’s always special when you play against your former club when you were there for so long and were such an important player. He scored so many goals for that football club. Everyone loves him there, we know that.

He was so important for them the last four or five seasons and of course, for that reason, it’s probably going to be more special for him. He’s going to feel a little bit more and he’s going to try his best to win the game and to score. Let’s hope he can do it.”
