Marco Silva will be looking to bolster his side in the summer window, after Fulham finished 10th in the Premier League and shocked supporters with their consistent performances.
The Cottagers have been linked with a variety of names this summer, as Fred, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Calvin Bassey have all been rumoured with a move to Craven Cottage.
Jimenez had been a terrific player for Wolves over recent years, contributing to 59 goals in 135 matches and forming a superb relationship with supporters.
However, after sustaining a horrific head injury against Arsenal in 2020 the Mexican striker has failed to find his form of old and failed to score a single goal in the Premier League.
Both clubs have agreed a deal of £5.5m, as the 32-year-old has one-year remaining on his current deal in Wolverhampton and has confirmed his desire to not sign an extended deal.
