Jimenez open to Premier League move amid Liverpool and West Ham links

Mexico and Benfica forward Raul Jimenez is open to a move to the Premier League amid links to Liverpool and West Ham.

Jimenez, 26, is reportedly a target for the two English clubs after helping Benfica to two Primeira Liga titles in as many seasons.

The Mexico international, who spent a season at Atletico Madrid before heading to Portugal, would seemingly consider a move to the Premier League.

The Premier League is a great championship, but you have to wait, Jimenez told ESPN after being sent off in his nation s third-place play-off loss to Portugal at the Confederations Cup on Sunday.

I don t close any doors and we ll see what happens. I m still at Benfica.

Now, I m going to have a good vacation then go back to work with everything.

Jimenez was linked with a loan move to West Ham in August 2015, but instead joined Benfica on a five-year deal.

The forward, who scored one goal in four games at the Confederations Cup, said he had seen the reports linking him with a switch to England.

I saw the news came out but I don t know anything, Jimenez said. I was concentrating on the national team.

I have a date to return to Benfica, to join the pre-season games and I m in the club s hands.
