‘Tempted’ – Why Championship transfer targets won’t be out of reach for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney at Wrexham in summer window

League One

Wrexham

Cambridge U

The Red Dragons have always boasted big ambition when it comes to recruitment, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/inside-wrexham-what-really-like-play-hollywood-owners/blt05546ce51783922f" target="_blank">Hollywood superstars make the funds available</a> that turn dreams into reality. Few could have predicted that the likes of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-paul-mullin-become-franchise-player-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham/bltf4843f9d7e9227f1" target="_blank">Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee and James McClean would be strutting their stuff</a> at SToK Racecourse prior to a stunning takeover in 2021 being completed.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wrexham are now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-good-crazy-hollywood-superstars-embrace-rare-opportunity-real-life/blt9147a42938846cdf" target="_blank">setting their sights on promotion into League One</a>, and former frontman Trundle – speaking to BoyleSports, who provide the latest <a href="https://www.boylesports.com/sports/football/competition/england-championship" target="_blank">EFL Betting</a> – has said of tempting talent down from the second tier of English football: “I think other players will be tempted to drop down as Wrexham aren't a club who'll be happy to stay in League One. Wrexham want to grow and play Premier League football someday, and I'm sure plenty of players will be attracted to that."

WHAT TRUNDLE SAID

Reaching the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-impossible-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-dream-can-come-true-phil-parkinson-luton-inspiration-premier-league/blt08d4cdd4f18c0b20" target="_blank">Premier League remains the ultimate goal</a> for all of those associated with Wrexham, and Trundle sees no reason <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ollie-palmer-predicts-when-wrexham-premier-league-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-red-dragons-very-top/blt362a4670cc3c93b9" target="_blank">why that target cannot be hit</a>. He added: “Everything about Wrexham indicates that they're setting up to play Premier League football - the owners have said it themselves. I've seen it with Swansea and I was a part of that journey who not only got to the Premier League but also won the League Cup and attained Europa League football! If you had said that 15 years ago, nobody would have believed you and you would have been silly to even say it! "That's the beauty of football. Wrexham have a strong backing and they know how to grow their brand. They've had Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell, and other actors in attendance, and they're showing the club off as a potential investment. I think that's where they'll move as they continue to climb. There's no reason why they can't go into the Premier League.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rename-the-racecourse-ryan-reynolds-course-wrexham-backed-ride-promotion-wave-reality-his-playing-field-levels-league-one/blt6de4637a4d48ce43" target="_blank">will see the playing field level somewhat if they do step up into League One</a>, with there plenty of big clubs to be found in that division, but there is no sign of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-shut-down-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-cameras-disappear-documentary-distraction-paul-mullin/bltc23f50702bf8b1df" target="_blank">impressive progress on and off the field</a> slowing down in North Wales.
