Raúl Jiménez, The Forward Who Brings Others In
Jiménez plays with his back to goal as comfortably as facing it, using his frame to hold off a defender long enough for a midfielder to arrive in support. His heading ability turns a long ball forward into a genuine attacking platform rather than a fifty fifty duel, and he brings a winger or a strike partner into the game with a knockdown that most forwards would simply try to win for themselves. That willingness to link play rather than hunt the ball alone defines how he leads the line.
He now plays wearing a protective headguard following a serious injury earlier in his career, a detail that changed nothing about how directly he still attacks crosses into the box. The question fans still argue about is whether his best physical years are behind him or whether experience has simply replaced some of the pace he used to rely on. Watch how much of the build up goes through him before deciding which side of that argument you land on.

Raúl Jiménez: The Clever No.7
Fulham’s experienced forward, built to link play, occupy defenders and finish with calmness.
Jiménez plays like a striker who understands the game’s rhythm. He knows when to drop in and connect play, when to pin a defender, and when to drift into the space that creates a chance. He might not rely on raw pace, but his movement is intelligent, and intelligent movement is often what opens the best goals.
In Silva’s system, he gives Fulham structure up front. He holds the ball up so midfielders can join, attacks crosses with good timing, and offers penalty-box composure when the chance arrives. He’s not a striker who needs ten touches, he needs one good moment, and his experience means he often finds it.
