Wrexham have reportedly made an enquiry to sign a Premier League wonderkid.
Welsh club Wrexham are currently preparing for life in the third tier of English football.
Over the last couple of seasons, the Red Dragons managed to secure back-to-back promotions from the National League to League Two and then to League One.
With the summer transfer window in full swing, Wrexham have been linked with a host of different names as they look to build a squad capable of staying in League One.
As reported by GiveMeSport, Wrexham, along with Championship duo Sunderland and Hull City have made an enquiry to sign Tottenham Hotspur starlet Will Lankshear.

The 19-year-old recently signed a new five-year deal with Spurs but is likely to be loaned out for the 24/25 season.
Lankshear was named Premier League 2 Player of the Season for 23/24 after scoring 21 goals in the competition.
At the time, Lankshear said: “I’m absolutely delighted to win Player of the Season! It’s been a really good season and I’ve loved playing with my team-mates and loved playing under the staff – it’s really been a positive year for me and the team.
“At the start of the season, coming back from an injury I had from the previous campaign, I just wanted to have a full season and I didn’t quite expect all of this would be happening, but I’ve worked really hard, listened to what the coaches have told me and tried to do what they said and obviously it’s worked!”

He added: “I’m really proud of the goals that I’ve scored but it’s all come from the team really – they’ve been amazing and I’m just doing my job, which is to put the ball in the back of the net.”
On Wednesday this week, Lankshear was involved as Spurs beat Hearts 5-1 to kickstart their pre-season fixtures.
Lankshear scored his side’s second goal in the 55th minute and drew praise from manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian said after the match: “It’s about coming on and making an impact. He did well and he took his goal well.”
