Wolves: The Championship side are in talks to sign Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez

Wolves have signed former England full-back Kieran Trippier and are in talks to re-sign former striker Raul Jimenez on a free transfer.

Trippier Left Newcastle at the end of the season When his contract expired and signed a two-year deal at Molineux.

The 35-year-old has played 160 times for Newcastle since joining from Atletico Madrid in January 2022 and made 54 appearances for England between 2017 and 2024.

“We know what we lacked this year, and we know what we need next year – experience, leadership, resilience and strong character,” said Head coach Rob Edwards, outsider.

“That’s what we need in abundance, and Trips ticks every box.”

Jimenez, 35, was named among a group of players by Fulham on Monday to leave the Premier League club when his contract expires at the end of the month.

It is understood that talks have begun over a return to Molineux, where he scored 57 goals in 166 games between 2018 and 2023.

His 40 Premier League goals make him Wolves’ top scorer in the English top flight.

Jimenez is on international duty with World Cup hosts Mexico, who open the tournament against South Africa on Thursday.

Wolves are looking to rebuild after finishing bottom of the Premier League last season and being relegated to the Championship.
