Rafa Mir has come into some form since football returned in Spain, scoring four goals in three Segunda Division appearances while on loan. The 23-year-old is finally living up to his billing after previously struggling in England which may result in the move being made permanent.

Which club did Wolves sign Raul Jimenez from?

Mir joined SD Huesca in mid-January and bagged two goals in seven games before the Covid-19 pandemic caused the season to be postponed, but he’s on course to score in his fourth consecutive game since football returned in Spain.

The 23-year-old came off the bench to score in Huesca’s 3-1 win over Malaga (June 12), was rewarded with a start in their 2-1 defeat to CD Mirandes (June 18) and got on the scoresheet before bagging a brace from the bench in the 2-2 draw with Albacete (June 21).

Mir has made 10 appearances in all competitions for Huesca, scoring six goals. His loan deal at the Estadio El Alcoraz runs until 2021 and comes with a buying option, so it’s unlikely he has a future back at Wolves.

The 23-year-old’s fine form in Spain will at least help Wolves cash in, however, so the Black and Gold can make some money back.
