Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez has revealed the one player from Mexico he’d love to see at Craven Cottage—Toluca star Alexis Vega.
Speaking to the Vamos Show YouTube channel, the 34-year-old named Vega as the player who could make a big impact for Fulham this summer. Jiménez, who has enjoyed a strong season with 14 goals and 3 assists in 43 Premier League appearances, believes Vega’s versatility and form make him the ideal addition.
Raúl Jiménez’s Mexican Dream Signing for Fulham
“Which player would I bring to Fulham? Right now, based on his current form, Alexis Vega. He’s doing an incredible job at Toluca and has the versatility to play on the wing, as a second striker, or as a winger, not just in a fixed position,” said Jiménez.
Jiménez highlighted Vega’s ability to adapt across attacking positions as a key factor for his choice.
Jiménez Focused on Fulham, Not a Return to Mexico
While Jiménez has often been linked with a return to Mexico—particularly to his former club Club América—he insists his focus remains firmly on playing at the highest level.
“I’ve always wanted more; I’ve never been satisfied with what I already have. If I can continue competing at the highest level for many years, I’m happy. I know I have the ability, and if there’s a team that believes in me, all the better,” he said.

What’s Next for Jiménez and Fulham?
With Jiménez focused on delivering more for Fulham under Marco Silva, the summer window could offer the chance for the club to scout talents like Vega. Whether a move happens remains to be seen, but Jiménez’s endorsement of his fellow countryman has put Vega’s name firmly on the radar.
