Wrexham go for Premier League pedigree! Red Dragons in talks over free transfer for ex-Leicester man

Wrexham are in talks with Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward over a free transfer this summer, according to Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett. The 31-year-old will be a free agent once his contract with Leicester expires at the end of June and he is said to be in early negotiations with the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club.

Ward played a reserve role for Leicester as they were relegated back to the Championship, with Mads Hermansen playing in 27 of their Premier League fixtures and Jakub Stolarczyk also favoured. The former Liverpool stopper came through the youth ranks at Wrexham but didn't make a first-team appearance before signing for the Reds in 2012.

Wrexham want Premier League experience and quality as they prepare to play in the Championship after three successive promotions. The likes of Ben Davies, Danny Ings and Tom Cairney have all been linked with moves to the Racecourse Ground in recent weeks, but no new players have arrived in north-east Wales yet.

Wrexham will continue plotting summer additions to their squad and are still hopeful of signing Tottenham defender Davies, despite the Welshman having a 12-month contract extension option triggered by the north London side.
