Wolves boss Bruno Lage is delighted working with Raul Jimenez.

Lage heaped praise on Raul ahead of today's clash with Manchester City.

He said, "Sometimes, 'the best' is the question of opportunity.

"Look, I don't want to say that - after, Pep (Guardiola, the Manchester City manager) comes with his money and buys Raul!

"But imagine Raul playing for Man City - I can imagine that, because he knows that game, he knows how to play inside, he knows how to play in the box, he runs a lot when you are defending.

"I don't want to give him ideas - I will go after him to sign 10 more years for Wolves!

"For me, he can play in any team, and I'm very happy to have him - I was unhappy because we didn't have the money, because we sold him from Benfica, but now I'm very happy to have him in the same team.

"One more thing is he is a good example for all the kids who want to be top players, not just as a player but also as a man.

"If you go back five years ago Raul scored goals in the Champions League, against Bayern Munich for Benfica.

"We are talking about one of the best players in the world and he is playing for us. It is a big reference for everyone who wants to become football players. I said before it is a good example that you can be a top player and also a top man - Raul is one of them."
