Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney tipped to launch Wrexham spin-off show if one thing happens this summer

Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been tipped to start a new spin-off show this summer if they complete one major signing.

The Red Dragons are preparing to play in League One for the first time in 19 years after back-to-back promotions under manager Phil Parkinson.

Key players Elliot Lee, Paul Mullin and James McClean have all been retained for the new campaign, although Wrexham did release nine players in order to make room for new additions this summer.

Each League One club is only allowed to register 22 players (excluding under-21 players and goalkeepers), meaning the Welsh club are restricted in terms of how many players they can sign.

And while a new centre-back is likely to be high on the agenda following several departures, they have also been linked with high-profile players in other areas of the pitch.

One of those players is Leicester star Jamie Vardy, whose 18 Championship goals - including a hat-trick in a 3-0 win at Preston North End - have helped the Foxes to gain automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

Leicester boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that the club have opened talks with the 37-year-old about a renewal of his existing contract, which expires next month.

But the Foxes are currently under an EFL transfer embargo which prevents them from registering new contracts, and it is unclear as to whether the embargo will continue in the Premier League once Leicester administratively switch divisions on June 6.

As a result, Vardy could be released by Leicester - and he has been linked with a potential move to Wrexham if that does occur.

The 2016 Premier League winner would be the most high-profile signing in Wrexham's history, with even club chief Humphrey Ker refusing to rule out an approach if the opportunity arises.

And an expert has claimed that Wrexham could capitalise on Vardy when it comes to off the pitch matters if he does make a huge move to the Racecourse Ground.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, brand expert and author Emily Austen says: "Rebekah [Vardy, Jamie's wife] has had a significant amount of negativity on social media; featuring on the show as a consequence of the signing would likely enable a more empathic response from fans and connect them with a more sympathetic narrative.

"It's not out of the question that there might be spin-off shows with the WAGs, and regular air time on prime time television is hard to come by.

"It would secure visibility for the couple that they are unlikely to achieve themselves. They would also have the possibility of rubbing shoulders with A Listers, and testing the water in the US.

"Disney+ has huge budgets to test shows (you often only see a one-series commitment), so it's a possibility that the couple could use the exposure to generate a conversation with the streamer."
