The biggest story around Wrexham right now has nothing to do with what is happening on the pitch. Hugh Jackman, the Hollywood actor best known for playing Wolverine, has revealed he is in talks over a potential investment in the club, as reported by GOAL. The news adds another layer to the celebrity ownership story that has defined Wrexham's rise through the Football League, with Jackman joining a conversation that already includes co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and Tom Brady's involvement at Birmingham City.

Ex-Birmingham winger Jermaine Pennant told GOAL the growing A-list presence across the Championship will make the league even more entertaining, and Jackman's close friendship with the Wrexham ownership group makes his potential involvement feel like a natural next step rather than a surprise.

On the pitch, Wrexham have given their fanbase genuine cause for optimism. A 2-1 home win over Southampton last weekend lifted the club to 14th in the Championship table, level on 10 points with the teams immediately above and below them after eight matches. The result shows the club can compete at this level, though the tight standings mean there is no room for complacency.

Next up is a trip to Derby County on October 10, a tough away test at Pride Park that will tell fans more about where this team genuinely stands in the second tier.
