Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the owners of Wrexham, have received a warning that they might not be able to afford to sign their top targets during the January transfer window.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the owners of Wrexham, have received word that they might find it difficult to sign their main targets during the January transfer window.
The Red Dragons have had a fantastic start to their new life in the EFL, currently sitting third in League Two. Additionally, they advanced to the FA Cup’s fourth round by defeating cross-border rivals Shrewsbury Town. In the following round, they will play Blackburn Rovers, a Championship team.
However, since it’s January, everyone’s main thought is about the January signings and potential additions to strengthen Wrexham’s already formidable promotion prospects. Lee Gregory of Sheffield Wednesday and Jonson Clarke-Harris of Peterborough are reportedly targets for the team.
Before making a bid for the pair, though, Carlton Palmer, a former England international, has warned. “Wrexham, going for back-to-back promotions, are interested in signing Lee Gregory and Jonson Clarke-Harris,” he told Football League World (via the Mirror).
“Both have a track record of scoring goals in League One; last season, Gregory was promoted to Sheffield Wednesday’s Championship team at the last minute. Although neither player will be inexpensive, if their teams keep them through the end of the season, Wrexham will have two talented strikers in League One, and their wages will also need to be found.
“I don’t think Peterborough will let Harris go for nothing, so if Wrexham wants him in January, they may need to pay a price. Based on the sounds emanating from Peterborough, it appears that they have already turned down offers for him and won’t let him go for a low price.”
As things stand, Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin’s new business deals have accounted for the majority of Wrexham’s co-owners’ January commercial activity. In appreciation for their commitment, the cherished athletes at Racecourse Ground received new contracts that would last until the completion of the 2026–2027 campaign.
Dragons manager Parkinson acknowledged he couldn’t certain the team will make any additional acquisitions this winter prior to the start of the January transfer window. He reluctantly acknowledged, saying, “I don’t want to make any predictions for January in terms of incoming players.”
“We have a talented team, but we’re constantly searching. We are constantly looking to improve, as our supporters are aware, and we are now evaluating a number of circumstances, but we are keeping our cards close to the vest.”
