After concluding an utterly dominant season, Wrexham AFC players are having the time of their lives, celebrating in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, coach Phil Parkinson is busy planning the upcoming season. The transfer window is approaching, and the management is doing its best to strengthen this goliath of a soccer team.
While they most probably will not even think about the offense of the team, they might look to explore new options for midfield and back line. The offense of the team looks in very safe hands with names like Ollie Palmer and Paul Mullin sending the entire league’s defenders into a frenzy.
Rumors start to float already about various prospects the Welsh club is eying. While the situation about Ben Foster is yet to be revealed and Gareth Bale using Rob McElhenney for golf only, there are a few names that interest the American owners. One such name is former Manchester United player Matthew Olosunde.
