Wrexham's Championship Ambition: Transfer Targets & Summer Window Strategy
Wrexham AFC's return to the Championship sparks ambitious transfer moves, with Wales striker Kieffer Moore among top targets. Manager Phil Parkinson outlines summer strategy amid squad rebuild and Premier League loan pursuits.

Wrexham's Bold Transfer Moves
Fresh off their historic promotion to the EFL Championship, Wrexham AFC are making waves in the transfer market with confirmed interest in Sheffield United's Welsh international Kieffer Moore. The 32-year-old target man, who scored 5 goals in 28 Championship appearances last season, represents exactly the profile of proven striker Wrexham's Hollywood-backed project demands.
Summer Recruitment Drive
Manager Phil Parkinson revealed:
- Ongoing discussions with multiple targets domestically and abroad
- Completed signings including Danny Ward (GK) and Josh Windass (FW)
- Failed pursuit of Christian Eriksen due to "complex negotiations"
- Active exploration of Premier League loan opportunities
Transfer Market Challenges
Parkinson emphasized the fluid nature of deals:
"The landscape changes rapidly – club valuations, player demands, and competition from rival Championship sides create constant recalibrations. While we'd prefer business concluded pre-season, the August 31 deadline remains our true benchmark."
Squad Building Priorities
With their Championship opener at Southampton approaching, Wrexham's recruitment team is:
- Seeking defensive reinforcements
- Evaluating creative midfield options
- Monitoring emerging Premier League talents for loan deals
- Balancing financial sustainability with promotion ambitions
