Raúl Jiménez

Jimenez will leave Fulham at the end of his contract, bringing a close to a three-year spell at Craven Cottage in which the Mexican striker scored 31 goals across all competitions, the club announced.

Analysis: Jimenez ended the season with nine goals and three assists across 36 appearances (27 starts) in what has been another productive individual campaign at the highest level of English football. The Mexican heads into the World Cup as Mexico's undisputed first-choice center-forward, ranking third on the national team's all-time scoring list with 45 goals from 125 caps, and will carry much of his country's attacking hopes on home soil before seeking a new club ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Set to lead Mexico's front line

Jimenez will look to serve as Mexico's first-choice center-forward in the upcoming World Cup, potentially retaining major responsibilities throughout the tournament.

Analysis: Jimenez was active for Fulham throughout the past Premier League season, recording nine goals and three assists across 36 appearances (27 starts). Given his extensive experience at the highest level, Mexico will once again place much of its scoring hopes on the 35-year-old striker, who ranks third on the national team's all-time scoring list with 45 goals in 125 appearances. In addition to his finishing ability, Jimenez provides value as a facilitator in the final third and should remain the favorite for penalty kick duties due to his remarkable efficiency from the spot.
