It appears Wrexham will conduct more business in the transfer window after club executive director Humphrey Ker opened up on their summer plans.
Ker, who joined the Red Dragons as executive director following the takeover by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in 2021, was speaking about transfers at the recent Fearless In Devotion event.
As they look to strengthen their first-team squad for the upcoming League One campaign, Wrexham have already made a statement by signing five new players.

Arthur Okonkwo was brought in on a permanent deal from Arsenal after the goalkeeper impressed in their recent promotion campaign.
George Dobson and Callum Burton have also arrived at the Racecourse Ground as free agents, whilst Lewis Brunt and Sebastian Revan were brought in from Leicester City and Aston Villa respectively.
Now, it appears Wrexham will try and add another two players to their first-team squad before the window closes, according to Ker.

The club have been linked with a loan move for highly-rated striker Will Lankshear, who has impressed for Tottenham at youth level.
Sheffield Wednesday's 19-year-old forward Bailey Cadamarteri, the son of former Premier League player Danny Cadamarteri, has also been linked with a loan.
Phil Parkinson recently suggested that the club are considering two new signings as they prepare for their biggest test yet; League One.
“The squad is getting there," Parkinson told The Athletic after their final pre-season game against Fleetwood.

"We are getting there. We are working on a couple of other things to add a bit more quality to what we have already got to make sure we can compete at this level.”
He added: "There are obvious candidates in terms of who will be strong [in League One] - with the money that certain teams have spent. Like Birmingham, who’ve almost had the [spending] power of a lower Premier League club, never mind a Championship club.
“It’s a very competitive division. There’s more money because of the new TV deal, so people have been spending. Some of the prices we’ve been quoted for players are astronomical.

“The market has become a bit distorted, maybe because of Birmingham’s spending. But we’re pleased with the lads we’ve brought in, and now it’s a case of, ‘Here we go again'."
