Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez has been urged to consider a change of position as he may no longer be good enough to play as a striker.
That’s at least according to Record journalist David Medrano, who believes Jiménez may need to think about a change to prolong his career.
He explains that the Fulham man is now on a goal drought that goals all the way back to March 10th, 2022, which means almost 19 months, around 600 days, have passed since his last goal in the Premier League.
He moved to Fulham from Wolves in the summer in the hope that a fresh start could kickstart things again but despite being handed a starting role by Marco Silva, he’s been unable to find the back of the net.
His performances have not been bad by any means but his inability to put the ball in the back of the net is an issue and he’s now found himself benched.
Medrano then posits that ‘perhaps it is time’ for Jiménez to think about a change of position and adapting his game accordingly.
He argues that the forward still has abilities in his locker, such as ‘reading the game and hitting the ball well’ but if he cannot score goals, then, as a striker, it is difficult for him or Marco Silva to argue that he should be starting games.
He doesn’t suggest what position Jiménez should move to, and it would be a major change for a player who has 290 appearances as a striker at club level but just 12 as an attacking midfielder on either wing.
It’s an idea he thinks the Fulham man should consider, though, as his extending goal drought continues to raise questions.
