Another Premier League transfer target for Wrexham! Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney ready Nottingham Forest raid for proven Championship performer Lewis O'Brien

The ambitious Welsh outfit are preparing for life in the Championship after rewriting the EFL history books with three successive promotions. The ultimate goal at SToK Racecourse is to one day reach the top-flight of English football.

Pedigree and potential will be required in order to get Wrexham over that line, with Phil Parkinson in the process of drawing up recruitment plans now that promotion parties in Las Vegas and Dubai have come to a close.

Wrexham have been heavily linked with Premier League title winner Jamie Vardy, as he prepares to sever ties with Leicester City, while there has been talk of a £50,000-a-week contract offer being readied for Fulham captain Tom Cairney ahead of him hitting free agency.

According to Football League World, O’Brien is another player with top tier experience that is attracting admiring glances from Wrexham. The 26-year-old has only made 17 appearances for Forest since joining them in 2022 - with loan spells being taken in at D.C. United, Middlesbrough, LAFC and Swansea City.

Swansea are eager to turn a productive loan deal into a permanent transfer, while O’Brien is also seeing a reunion with his former Huddersfield Town boss Carlos Corberan speculated on at La Liga side Valencia.

Wrexham are, however, also in the mix with it clear that Parkinson wants Championship nous in his engine room for 2025-26. Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will be providing the funds that make more marquee signings possible.
