Wrexham AFC is having a fine start to the season. Ryan Reynolds’ men can’t stop scoring goals and they stand third in League Two. However, besides lots of great performances across the pitch, Wrexham has many notable stars to thank largely for their success. Recently, co-owner Ryan Reynolds revealed how he fought immensely to bring one such player to the club.

Wrexham employs a free-flowing attacking system that has earned plaudits.  They already have 12 different goalscorers this season. Manager Phil Parkinson has impressed with his tactics and decisions. Not many people expected Wrexham to cruise through but it looks like the management and the players are united to achieve the Premier League dream.

Ryan Reynolds gives his take on ‘gifted’ Wrexham star

In the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary, Reynolds revealed that it was quite difficult to sign Elliot Lee. He revealed, “Elliot[Lee] was a player we’d looked at and we chased the hardest because he had a lot of clubs wanted to sign him. He’s another great character and a very gifted footballer.” In retrospect, this looks like a masterstroke of a decision considering how influential the Englishman has been.

Elliot Lee has been Wrexham’s best attacking player with 10 goals in 16 games. Their next-best goalscorer Ollie Palmer, scored less than half of Eliott. The former West Ham star is an ambidextrous soccer player with immense shooting ability. Born into a soccer family, his game intelligence is evident in his ability to play in multiple positions such as left-wing, attacking midfield, and center forward. Yet, his most important attribute seems to be his passion for the club.

Lee describes Wrexham as, “probably one of the best projects in football”. His affection and love for the club stand out in a time when players are lured by money. His combination of soccer skills and personality make up an interesting package, one that seems to have caught the eye of Tom Brady.

Will Tom Brady make the move for the English ace?

Birmingham City are struggling to score, with just 18 goals in 15 matches. Their top goalscorer has scored just 5 goals in 13 matches. Tom Brady and coach Wayne Rooney seem to have outlined Elliot Lee as a potential solution to their attacking woes. However, any move will not be a straightforward one.

Lee is the best player at Wrexham AFC and any potential move will involve a huge fee. Moreover, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have the lofty ambition of playing in the Premier League. On the other hand, Birmingham City play in a better league. It looks like Elliot Lee will have some tough decisions to make.
