Wrexham have found some form in League Two, and they are now fourth in the league.
Wrexham won the National League championship last season and have only lost once in their first eight games back in the Football League. They are undefeated in their past seven league games.
Over the summer, Phil Parkinson’s team was careful in its recruiting and did not hurry into any agreements. They ended up adding some smart players like James McClean and George Evans.
This winter, the Red Dragons have the opportunity to add several new players. Here are three players they should pursue after being associated with them in the previous window…
Wrexham manager Jonson Clarke-Harris investigated the prospect of signing the Peterborough United striker. “Wrexham contacted me and said they were going to make a bid, which was interesting,” Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony revealed on his ‘The Hard Truth’ podcast (quotes via Peterborough Telegraph). It may have appeared to be an unusual move for the player, but if they acquired him, it would almost certainly mean back-to-back promotions for them, so I could understand the reasoning.
“Apparently, Hollywood approved the move, but they then went silent.” They never got back to me, which surprised me, especially given who they finally sought to sign with.”
Clarke-Harris, 29, joined his current team in 2020. Since then, he has scored 74 goals in 144 appearances across all competitions.
On deadline day, a late deal for Harrogate Town forward Luke Armstrong Parkinson’s side fell through. According to their website, they have opted not to contest the move.
If they still want him in a few months, the door will be open for them to make another swoop for him. Last season, Armstrong scored 16 goals.
According to London News Online, Wrexham contemplated a move for Charlton Athletic captain George Dobson. He’d be an excellent addition, and enticing him to the fourth tier would be a significant show of intent.
Dobson’s contract expires next summer, so the Addicks risk losing him for nothing if they don’t cash in on him now, presuming he doesn’t sign an extension. He has previously played for Walsall and Sunderland.
