Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has revealed his dream of finishing seventh with Wolves this season and claiming a Europa League spot.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team will cement seventh if they beat Fulham this weekend and Leicester fail to beat Manchester City on Monday night.

If City then win the FA Cup final against Watford, Wolves would play European football for the first time in nearly 40 years.

And the Mexico international has admitted that he will be a City fan on cup final weekend.

“I have never played in the Europa League so maybe it’s a good opportunity for us,” he told the Express and Star.

“Maybe not many of my teammates made it (either) so I really want to play that cup.

“Watford have the cup final, we are going to support Manchester City I think!

“Saturday (beating Watford) was very important for us because some people think that it was a revenge for the FA Cup, but we were thinking before of the match that it was a very good opportunity to take more advantage for the seventh place.

“Now we have the same opportunity as them to be in the Europa League. This weekend we have the opportunity to, if we win the game, to be in more in the Europa League in the seventh place.”
