Wolves have signed former England full-back Kieran Trippier and are in talks to re-sign former striker Raul Jimenez on a free transfer.<\/b><\/p>\n

Trippier left Newcastle at the end of the season<\/a> when his contract expired and has signed a two-year deal at Molineux.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old played 160 times for Newcastle after joining from Atletico Madrid in January 2022, and made 54 appearances for England between 2017 and 2024.<\/p>\n

“We know what we’ve lacked this year, and we know what we need next year – experience, leadership, resilient characters and strong characters,” said head coach Rob Edwards, external<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“That’s what we’re going to need in abundance, and Tripps ticks every box.”<\/p>\n

Jimenez, 35, was listed by Fulham on Monday among a group of players set to leave the Premier League club when his contract expires at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

It is understood negotiations have begun over a return to Molineux, where he scored 57 goals in 166 games between 2018 and 2023. <\/p>\n

His 40 Premier League goals make him Wolves’ top scorer in the English top flight.<\/p>\n

Jimenez is on international duty with World Cup hosts Mexico, who begin the tournament against South Africa on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Wolves are looking to rebuild after finishing bottom of the Premier League last season and being relegated to the Championship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
