Volketswil Overview

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have been urged to make Jamie Vardy the next star of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, with Robert Huth telling GOAL that his former Leicester team-mate “certainly is Hollywood”. The former England international striker remains a free agent after leaving Italian side Cremonese, but the Red Dragons in North Wales have been warned that any deal will not come cheap.

Phil Parkinson admitted he was left "shellshocked" after Wrexham suffered a dismal 2-1 Championship defeat at home to Birmingham. The frustrated manager slammed his side's defending as "unacceptable" following a sluggish performance that leaves them without a win this season.

Former Birmingham player and manager Steve Bruce has told GOAL that the Blues will not rush into a repeat of their Wayne Rooney mistake, with there no plans on the part of Tom Brady and the club’s board to seek another “name” in the dugout. Chris Davies remains at the St Andrew’s helm for now, with collective sights being locked on the Premier League.

Wrexham are set to continue their ambitious recruitment drive after agreeing a £2m fee with Manchester City for defender Issa Kabore. The move marks a significant permanent return for the right-back, who spent the previous campaign on loan at the Racecourse Ground as the club narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs.
