Five Players Wrexham Could Sign to Seal Premier League Dream Amid New Investment

Here's five players Wrexham could sign to secure promotion to the Premier League amid the club's new investment.

Wrexham have enjoyed three consecutive promotions under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.

Reynolds and Mac have transformed the club's fortunes since taking over in 2021.

The Hollywood pair have invested heavily, signing some of the football league's best talents, including Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead, among others.

Off the pitch, Wrexham received a shot in the arm after Apollo Sports Central (ASC) opted to inject cash into the Welsh outfit in a deal that will see the club's celebrity owners remain as controlling owners.

ASC, who became the majority shareholders in Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, have acquired a stake thought to be less than 10 per cent.

In a joint statement, Reynolds and Mac said: "The dream has always been to take this club to the Premier League while staying true to the town. Growth like that takes world-class partners who share our vision and ambition, and Apollo absolutely does."

Reynolds and Mac's Premier League dream could be facilitated through ASC, who seem prepared to spend big at Wrexham.

Ahead of the transfer window reopening, we've taken a look at five signings that Wrexham could try to complete to seal promotion to England's top flight.

Carlton Morris

Moore has scored eight league goals this season, but another forward could be on Phil Parkinson's radar to compliment the big man.

Derby County's Carlton Morris is enjoying a prolific campaign and only one striker in the league has scored more goals than him.

If Wrexham could lure him away from Derby, Morris, 29, would add goals which could help them clinch promotion.

Teden Mengi

At the other end of the pitch, Parkinson will want to sure things up at the back and what better way to reinforce their defence with the signing of Teden Mengi.

The Luton Town centre-back played in the Premier League in his side's 2023/24 campaign and is among the best defenders in League One.

Still only 23, he has plenty of time to develop and become an even better player.

Gustavo Hamer

Wrexham don't just need goals but someone who can help create them. Gustavo Hamer is arguably one of the division's most talented players and Reynolds and Mac could look to him to add flair to their squad.

Hamer starred in the Championship last season, helping Sheffield United reach the play-off final.

But Sheff United have struggled this season and Wrexham could look to capitalise on the club's woes by attempting to lure him away form Yorkshire.

Bobby Clark

Clark, who came through Liverpool's youth academy, was a Wrexham target in the summer until he signed for Derby on loan for the season.

But his loan deal is set to be cut short, with a January move mooted.

Wrexham may seek to reignite their pursuit of Clark, who would be a stellar midfield addition to Parkinson's squad.

Sam Byram

Sam Byram would be able to offer his experience, having plied his trade in the Premier League and Championship.

He's played just one league game for Leeds United this season, so he could be looking at his options in January if he wants to play regular football.

Given his versatility, Byram could operate at left or right wing-back.
