Wrexham linked with second striker on deadline day as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney prepare to splash the cash again

League One outfit Wrexham have been linked with a second striker on transfer deadline day.

This summer, Wrexham have so far brought in the likes of Ollie Rathbone, Arthur Okonkwo, George Dobson and Callum Burton.

On transfer deadline day, the Red Dragons announced the signing of Mo Faal from Championship side West Brom.

A statement read: “Wrexham AFC are delighted to announce the signing of striker Mo Faal from West Bromwich Albion.

“Gambian-born Faal, 21, has signed a contract through to June 2027 with an option for a further year.”

After sealing the deal for Faal, it has been claimed that Wrexham are targeting another striker.

As reported by Darren Witcoop, who wrote on social media: “Niall Ennis is a target for a number of League One clubs. Wrexham and Barnsley have made enquiries over the Stoke striker’s availability.”

It is believed that Ennis is surplus to requirements at Stoke City and a late departure could be sanctioned.

After signing Faal, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson said: “I’m delighted to welcome Mo to the Club.

“He’s an exciting young striker and has had a really good progression in his loan moves in the last couple of seasons; we’re really looking forward to working with him.”

Meanwhile, Faal said: “I have had a smile on my face since I've been here. I’m excited and thoroughly buzzing to be here - I can’t wait to get started.

“I think everyone in the football world now knows just how big of a Club this is, and where it wants to be.”

He added: “Ever since I heard about the project that has been going on here, it has been on an upwards trajectory. Over the last couple of years it has been a Club that has really come through and since hearing about all of that and speaking to the gaffer, it made my decision very simple.

“I scored my first professional goal here, and when I came here it was an unbelievable place to play at. The fans are incredible, every single seat was filled. The atmosphere was rumbling and the stadium was absolutely buzzing - to finally be a part of that, It’s unbelievable.”
