Wrexham set to launch shock move for former Liverpool star that Jurgen Klopp loved as new transfer strategy revealed

Wrexham are planning an audacious move to sign a former Liverpool and England player this summer, it has been reported.

The Red Dragons are preparing for their first season in the second tier of English football since 1982.

They have already offered a contract to Fulham captain Tom Cairney, according to , and are willing to offer him £50,000 per week to move to Wales.

Now, the Daily Mail claim that manager Phil Parkinson wants to add even more experience to his squad this summer.

Wrexham have previously been linked with a move for out-of-contract West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell, but the Mail add that they are also keen on signing team-mate Danny Ings.

Ings is also set to become a free agent after two-and-a-half years at the London Stadium, having struggled for game time this season.

The England striker signed for Liverpool in 2015 on a free transfer from Burnley, and had already developed a reputation as one of the country's top young prospects.

However, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the first training session of Jurgen Klopp's reign at Anfield.

He then suffered ligament damage to his other knee in November 2016, and he had fallen behind Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge and Dominic Solanke in the pecking order by the time of his return.

Successful spells would then follow at Southampton and Aston Villa before his move to West Ham.

Despite only playing 17 games in all competitions under Klopp, scoring once, the German praised Ings following the announcement of his move to Southampton in 2018.

"He is such an outstanding boy," Klopp told Liverpool's official website. "Honestly, if you could bottle his character and spirit, his would sell worldwide - he is so incredibly positive and full of energy.

"But we won't just miss his character, because he is a footballer who has all the tools.

"What is clear is that in his time here he had zero luck really, certainly in my time.

"Before joining I tried to watch as many games on tape as I could from the season so far and Danny Ings stood out as someone I was really looking forward to coaching."
