Wrexham backed to seal 'crazy' Jamie Vardy transfer with Leicester icon 'capable of causing so many problems' for Championship rivals if Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's team win promotion

Wrexham are pushing for promotion to the Championship this season and are currently placed second in the League One table, one point above Wycombe Wanderers. If they manage to secure a third consecutive promotion, the Red Dragons will have to make some big signings to compete and remain afloat in the second tier.

As the 2024-25 season reaches the business end, Sky Sports pundit Lee Hendrie has backed Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side to sign Leicester legend Vardy. The former England international striker is in the final few months of his current deal, and with the Foxes set to go down once again from the Premier League, questions have been raised over his future.

Speaking to Football League World, Hendrie said: "Jamie Vardy, obviously the links and the Wrexham chief, Humphrey Ker, that he would certainly consider taking Vardy next season, which is crazy to think of, but he is still capable, I think, of causing so many problems. It looks like Wrexham are going to stand a really good chance of getting into the Championship.

"He knows that league. He's still got that pace and cleverness and something different that they could certainly use. Obviously his age is one thing (to consider), but for one season, I don't think it would be a bad signing whatsoever. So that'd be a good thing if that was true, and it'd be welcomed."

The Red Dragons will be back in action this Friday as they take on Bristol Rovers in a crucial League One fixture at home.
