Ryan Reynolds vows Wrexham will be 'aggressive as we can possibly be' in transfer market as Welsh club prepare to 'swim with the big fishes' in the Championship

Reynolds was appearing on a fan podcast, alongside his partner Rob McElhenney. The hosts asked the pair about their transfer plans following their promotion to the Championship, suggesting many Wrexham fans would be happy to "consolidate" before mounting another promotion push. McElhenney's competitive side came out, when he jokingly said he did not understand the word.

That exchange prompted Reynolds to suggest the Red Dragons will continue to spend "as aggressively as they possibly can", while also being mindful of the club's financial sustainability. The Deadpool star then mentioned the ongoing revamp of the Racecourse Ground as an ongoing expense.

When asked if the club would continue to sign, "Lots of expensive cheques" or if they would "consolidate" McElhenney said: "What have you seen so far to suggest [we won't].

"I don't understand what that word [consolidation] means."

Reynolds said: "We're coming to win. I can't give you a dollar figure, but we're going to be as aggressive as we can possibly be, while being mindful of sustainability. We have a stadium to revamp, but maintain it's character and culture.

"We're swimming with the big fishes now. It's a tall order to compete on that level."

Red Dragons' fans will be heartened to hear their owners speak with the same ambition that has made their tenure so special. It seems the Hollywood pair will continue to keep writing "big cheques" in the hope of even greater success.
