At the end of every season, certain soccer clubs win the grand prize, while others are relegated and must reconstruct their team. But for Wrexham, they can look forward to the next campaign with high hopes. After pipping Notts County for the National League title, the Red Dragons will aim to bolster their squad. As they aim for back-to-back promotions, the club wants to strengthen its force and improve every season. For that, they need players who can create a difference, and they are targeting a sensational player from Blackpool, according to a soccer insider.
They suffered a recent injury blow in their game against Chelsea, and signing players looks a necessity. Although the team faced relegation from the Championship to EFL League One, Wrexham wants a $256,000 player to improve their squad. Hence, Ryan Reynolds is ready to push for a promotion hunt. So, who is the star man to take the club forward?

Blackpool’s Matty Virtue comes up as the meaningful name on the list. According to Team Talk, journalist Ben Jacobs explained how he was the one to watch. Hence, fans can get excited about the incoming quality of the squad. Despite the team’s relegation, Virtue became a vital clog in their system. He scored four goals and created one assist for Lincoln City, who plays in EFL League One. Therefore, it could be a fresh start for the midfielder, who can make a difference to the Welsh soccer club.
Virtue is one of the best talents out there for Wrexham, having experience playing for Liverpool in his youth career. He failed to appear in a Liverpool jersey, but having been a part of the big club would help the lads in the dressing room. He could instill the massive club mentality and motivate the team by assisting them to push for a promotional hunt.
For Blackpool, Virtue made around 70 appearances for the club. Jacobs explained to TalkSport, “From the things that I’m hearing, there is a possibility that Wrexham might move for Matty Virtue, who is a 26-year-old midfielder at Blackpool. That could be one to watch. He spent last season on loan with Lincoln and did pretty well.”
