Rob McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds to bankroll 'busy' January transfer window as Wrexham targeting players ready for potential Championship jump

League One

Wrexham

Bristol Rovers

<p>Wrexham are aiming to continue their incredible rise under the Hollywood duo by securing promotion from League One to the Championship this season. The Red Dragons currently sit third in the table, behind only leaders Wycombe and Birmingham City. The approaching January transfer window offers the opportunity for clubs to spend and strengthen their squads, and Wrexham look set to invest once again in a bid to boost their promotion hopes.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Harvey has confirmed that Wrexham are not only looking at players who can help the club make it out of League One but are eager to bring in new signings who will also be able to thrive in the Championship. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-big-money-january-swoop-championship-striker-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-promotion-push/blt6680e541949123a0#csdf7b69d250832b2c" target="_blank">Wrexham have been linked with a big-money swoop for an experienced Championship striker&nbsp;this winter</a>, and Harvey has admitted it is easier for his club to recruit players after their rise up the divisions.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Harvey said via <em>Wales Online</em>: "Rob and Ryan have always supported Phil's ambition. We will be active in the transfer market during January, because we're in a position of strength. If we go any further forward from where we are now, we get promoted, and that is the objective. It's difficult to say what and where, because there's still six weeks to go before the window opens. Then it is a case of who's available, and who will actually strengthen us.</p><p>"We've had a policy of trying to ensure that we sign players, not just for this division, but for the next division as well. Fortunately, it's easier now with the higher we get in the leagues, because players never really wanted to drop down. We had to pay for that privilege and we called it the non-league tax. Where we are now is that there are players that would come to play for Wrexham in League One that would not play for any other club in that division. That's what we've been able to create so I suspect we'll be busy."</p>

WHAT WREXHAM HAVE SAID

<p>Before the window opens, Wrexham will be aiming to keep their promotion push on track.
