As reported by Football Insider, Wrexham is set to bid to bolster their midfield artillery by acquiring Saidou Khan from Swindon Town. Khan has made 55 appearances for Swindon, helping them finish in 10th place in League Two last season. He has been a key player for the Robins this season, chipping in 3 assists in 18 appearances for the club. However, Wrexham is hoping to land Khan in the January transfer window for an estimated fee of $442,000.

Wrexham currently sits in the second position in the League Two standings. The Red Dragons are working hard to push for another promotion to League One this season. With just six months remaining on Khan’s contract with Swindon come January, the Welsh club believe that this could be their last chance to cash in on the midfielder.
