Wrexham target stunning triple signing after Paul Mullin exit as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney get serious

Wrexham are reportedly targeting a stunning triple signing after agreeing to loan striker Paul Mullin to Wigan.

Mullin departs the Racecourse Ground after three seasons in Wales, which saw him earn promotion in each campaign all the way up to the Championship.

However, the Wrexham cult hero suffered with injury problems last season and, when fit, only managed three goals in 28 League One appearances.

The 30-year-old, who is from Merseyside, now links up with Liverpool-born Latics boss Ryan Lowe, who is in his first summer as manager of the former Premier League club after replacing Shaun Maloney in February.

It is the first departure of the window for Wrexham, who had effectively already replaced Mullin by signing Ryan Hardie from Plymouth for a reported fee of £700,000.

Now, ahead of playing second tier football next season, the Red Dragons' transfer business is now set to click into gear.

They have been linked with an audacious move to sign Liverpool left-back Owen Beck in a deal that could either be a loan or a permanent move.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Championship side Blackburn and was one of their top performers.

With left-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas still at Liverpool, and Milos Kerkez closing in on a move from Bournemouth, Wales-born Beck could be surplus to requirements.

According to the Daily Mail's Lewis Steele, manager Arne Slot may yet want to see Beck in pre-season before sanctioning a move, with Rangers said to be among the other clubs interested in signing him.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports report that both Wrexham and Stockport are chasing Tom Lawrence, who will become a free agent this summer following the expiration of his Rangers contract.

The 31-year-old has vast experience of Championship football and was one of the division's star attacking midfielders during his five-year stint at Derby, though has had injury issues since signing for Rangers in 2022.

Lawrence is born in Wrexham and that, as well as the club's second tier status, might give the Red Dragons the edge.

The third player linked with a move to Wrexham is Wales international goalkeeper Danny Ward, who will also become a free agent imminently as his contract at Leicester expires.

The former Liverpool shot-stopper joined the Foxes in 2018 and has largely been backup to Kasper Schmeichel and Mads Hermansen during his time at the club.

He was given a first team opportunity by Brendan Rodgers in 2022/23 following Schmeichel's departure, but endured a torrid time between the sticks and was dropped in favour of Daniel Iversen before the season ended.
