In the past four years, Wrexham fans have plenty to celebrate after their takeover by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney.
Phil Parkinson took the red dragons to Back-to-Back Promotions in their last two seasons. Supported by the considerable financial investments of the two actors, the outfit of North Wales is currently third in League One and hope for a new promotion to the championship.
The manager of Wrexham has received a substantial war box in every transfer of transfer since Reynolds and Mcelhenney took over the helm in February 2021. It enabled him to bring people like Talisman Paul Mullin and the former Republic of Ireland International James McClean to the Racecourse Ground to The Racecourse Ground. .
Parkinson's has already made one addition to the current window, with more expected that it will follow before it closes on Monday 3 February at 11 p.m. Here Mirror Football looks at what Wrexham's Dream Xi could look like after the window shuts, including the next three new faces.
Ryan Longman
A player who could certainly appear in the line-up is the former Hull City-Man Ryan Longman, who came to Wrexham last week for a reported fee of £ 500,000. The 24-year-old was the first new arrival of the club of the transfer star of January after he had already made more than 100 championships in his career.
Wrexham fought the competition from the second side Oxford United to bind the former Brighton wing player until the end of the 2026/27 season, with the option of an extra year. Parkinson's would first like to sign him behind the back of an impressive loan saying at Millwall last summer.
Where he stands in front of Wrexham in a row, still to be seen, but many fans have speculated that he replaces McClean in the left wing-back berth. Longman often played in the same position during his early career at Hull.
Sam Smith
Another area where Parkinson's is said to be enthusiastic about reinforcement is at the front. Wrexham -striker Paul Mullin has passed a difficult start to the season, managed only four goals in all competitions and were in and out of the team after having undergone a back operation in the summer.
However, it is the number nine role, currently taken by Ollie Palmer, where Wrexham is usually linked to new recruits. A potential recruit that would fit with that account is Reading's Sam Smith.
The 26-year-old already has ten goals this season in his name in League One. Smith is appreciated at about £ 600,000, according to transfer market, so that he is placed within the price range of Wrexham.
He has also expressed uncertainty about his long -term future with the royals because of their constant unrest outside the field. Asked by BBC Radio Berkshire last month if he would still read after the January window, he said: “I honestly have no idea. We have seen in the past that the decision of some players is taken out of their hands.
“It is clearly difficult and you don't know what's around the corner. There are people here who want to build themselves who want to build, but God knows what is going to happen.”
Thelo Aasgaard
Wrexham has not scored that often in League One as in obtaining promotion of League Two and the National League. A player who could certainly help to add goals in midfield is Wigan Athletic Thelo Baasgaard.
The 22-year-old has scored 12 goals this season in all competitions for the Latics for a team that has also struggled for the goal. The Norway under-21 International has been the striking performer of Wigan at some distance.
The sun was reported earlier this month that Stoke City belongs to one of the parties that monitor the progress of Baasgaard, with a substantial price tag of £ 3 million in its name. Taking him to Wrexham would require Reynolds and Mcelhenney to completely blow out their current record transfer of just under £ 600,000.
It would also require a potential controversial call for Parkinson's to replace the former Luton -Man Elliott Lee in the attacks of midfield, but would not increase the chances of promotion of Wrexham.
Wrexham's Dream XI line-up: Okonkwo; Cleworth, Scarr, O'Connor; Barnett, Dobson, Rathbone, Baasgaard, Longman; Smith, Mullin
