Which club did Wolves sign Raul Jimenez from?

Graham is a 15-year-old striker who plays for Ross County. The Sun say he joined the Staggies in 2019 and has impressed for their U16s and U18s. His form for County has led to interest from Celtic among others, but United have made the most progress.

The Red Devils brought Graham in on a trial in February and he impressed enough to lead United to follow up on their interest weeks later. The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has halted football in Scotland and England, but United want to bring him to Old Trafford when things resume.

Liverpool may also be interested in Graham after his impressive trial with the Merseysiders too, but it remains to be seen where he’ll end up in the coming months. He has a lot to ponder.

Wolves have a difficult task beating out Premier League giants to Graham’s signature, but he wouldn’t be the only teenager signed this season – Luke Matheson (17), Enzo Loiodice (19), Leonardo Campana (19) were January acquisitions alone, as per Transfermarkt.

Time will tell if they can convince Graham to come to Molineux.
