He is currently not playing due to the head injury he suffered against Arsenal, but that does not mean that he has had one of the best years of his career. Raúl Jiménez has proven to be a key piece in Wolves and has covered the credit of many and that is why he is in the Top 100 of the best footballers of 2020.
The place The Guardian is who publishes the list.
With the end of the year near, it was to be expected that the traditional English press would announce the best 100 players of 2020. At the top of the list are always the names of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappé and Lewandowski, but it was in the lower part where several things changed.
Players like Griezmann, Coutinho and Hazard did not reach the number they would have liked, and all because of the bad season they have had in their present teams. Especially the French and the Belgian, who have struggled to adapt to Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.

That is why Raúl Jiménez surpassed them.
The Guardian it placed the Mexican at # 78, above Hazard, Griezmann, Coutinho and even Frenkie de Jong. Those 4 are part of two of the largest teams in Europe, Barca and Real Madrid, but they were still overtaken by the ‘Mexican wolf’.
The reason for putting Raúl there was because they classified him as one of the most complete forward centers in the world, because in addition to highlighting his scoring ability, they highlight the skills he has to play outside the area. “He’s smart enough, skilled enough, he can bond with any teammate and earn unanimous admiration,” they explained.
The Guardian ranked Raúl Jiménez as the # 78 footballer in the world!

His numbers before the injury prove it.
He had played 36 games in the year with Wolverhampton, in which he added 13 annotations, in addition to having an assist and that is why Raúl Jiménez is in the Top 100 of the best footballers according to the newspaper The Guardian.
