Wrexham could field a stunning lineup in the Championship next season if they continue their incredible transfer window with three mooted arrivals.

Phil Parkinson's men will play in the second tier for the first time since 1982 after securing a historic third promotion in a row last term, coming second in League One.

The Red Dragons, owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, kick off their Championship campaign with an opening weekend clash with relegated Southampton and a flurry of new signings are expected to be in the squad for the fixture.

Wrexham have offloaded 11 players in an almighty overhaul but have also drafted in six new players in Josh Windass, George Thomason, Ryan Hardie, Lewis O'Brien, Danny Ward and Liberato Cacace.

But their spree is not expected to end their. According to journalist Alan Nixon, Wrexham are set to sign striker Kieffer Moore imminently after agreeing a fee with Sheffield United, while they have made a £7 million approach for Ipswich Town winger Nathan Broadhead.

What's more, they are also looking to bring in the experienced Conor Coady in what could be an extremely shrewd signing.

The Welsh outfit could have strong options across the park next season and despite the return of goalkeeper Ward, Arthur Okonkwo will likely continue to be the preferred option in between the sticks.

Parkinson will surely stick with his tried and trusted three at the back system and Max Cleworth and Lewis Brunt promise to be a nice foil for Coady, who will play in the centre of the backline.

Ryan Longman and Cacace will provide the width as wing-backs, with £5 million record signing O'Brien and Matty James providing a solid midfield base for technician Windass to do his stuff.

Windass scored 13 goals for Sheffield Wednesday last term and will be Wrexham's chief creator for the exciting forward pairing of Moore and Broadhead.

Sam Smith and Ryan Hardie will also provide extra options up top over what will be a long season.

Thomason is another option in midfield and there should still be important roles for James McClean, George Evans and Mo Faal.

Wrexham boss reveals offers for one player

Parkinson has already admitted that some players will be allowed to leave in order for guaranteed gametime, mentioning Jacob Mendy as a player who has potential suitors.

“We’ve got the be fair to these players, who maybe aren’t going to get as much playing time as they’d like," Parkinson said.

“Jacob’s one of those and we’re in negotiations to sort out a move and there’s a few offers on the table.

"We’ve done this before. It’s a bit like Jordan Davies last year.”
