Jimenez’s first spell left a clear emotional mark. He was not simply a centre-forward; he was a focal point in one of the most memorable modern periods for Wolves.
Supporters tend to hold on to players who embody a chapter they want to remember. Jimenez fits that description.
The report says his return has captured the imagination, and that rings true because sentiment often matters as much as squad planning. Football clubs sell hope, but they also trade in memory. A familiar face can lift the mood around a ground, especially when a club is trying to reconnect with its own standards and self-image.
That does not mean nostalgia alone will carry him. There will be questions over sharpness, minutes and role. But the emotional value is obvious already.
The smart view is not to turn this into a simple success-or-failure debate too quickly.
The next storyline is straightforward: how quickly Jimenez settles back into the rhythm of life at Molineux, and whether this return becomes more than a touching reunion. Even before the football answers arrive, the feeling around the club already seems different.
