<p>According to <a href="https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ryan-reynolds-47-transfer-signings-30474156" target="_blank"><em>Wales Online</em></a><em>, </em>Wrexham's spending spree has seen the arrival of 47 players, with the duo spending nearly £6.2 million ($7.8m) on transfer fees. This represents an average outlay of £132,000 ($167,000) per player, spread across seven players per transfer window since the summer of 2021.
