With just under a week of the winter transfer window to go, Wrexham are still eyeing up additions to strengthen their promotion push.While manager Phil Parkinson has said <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-phil-parkinson-bonus-quiet-end-january-transfer-window/blte8aa6cc6d33df3c4#cs667de22936b07515" target="_blank">he's happy with his current squad,</a> the club's recruitment department are working behind the scenes on a number of options to improve the team.<a href="https://theathletic.com/5221048/2024/01/26/wrexham-transfer-window-january-latest/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> report that central defence has been identified as an area that could be addressed.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham broke their transfer record when they paid AFC Wimbledon £300,000 for the services of striker Ollie Palmer in January 2022. Along with McClean and Ben Tozer, three of Wrexham's most expensive signing have come since the arrival of Reynolds and McElhenney as owners.
