1. Raul Jimenez

It has been a huge year for Raul Jimenez. The Wolves striker has scored 13 goals in 29 appearances to help lead the way for the English club. In all competitions, Jimenez has 22 goals in 44 appearances, and much of those have come in the toughest league in the world.

There is no question that he has become one of the more lethal strikers in the Premier League. For this reason, he has risen up the ranks in CONCACAF to the top spot. The Mexican also has 24 goals in 81 appearances for the national team and could yet get close to Javier Hernandez’s record.

The real test for Jimenez may be yet to come as he is being linked with Arsenal and Manchester United. Can he handle the pressure of starting for one of the biggest clubs in the world? If his performances for Wolves are anything to go by, he might just thrive.
