Excellent would be an understatement to describe Wrexham’s transfer policy. Thanks to intelligent transfers, the Welsh club is now housing a rock-solid defense, at least on the books. It goes from former Charlton ace defensive mid-George Dobson’s signing to goalie Arthur Okonkwo’s permanent switch from Arsenal. Meanwhile, the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned side has also poached elite youngsters from the youth teams of Aston Villa and Leicester City. Now, Phil Parkinson is vying to target another Premier League prodigy, adding a Tottenham youth striker to their radar.
The X page English 3rd Tier, and a few other sources close to Wrexham confirm that the club is interested in signing 19-year-old English striker Will Lankshear on a loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur. Rumors also have it that Phil Parkinson wants the Spurs prodigy before Wrexham faces Chelsea in their pre-season US tour. Still a teenager, Lankshear has a world-class resume that makes him a red-hot prospect in the transfer market. He scored an impressive 21 goals in the last Premier League 2 season and won the player of the tournament award.

Lankshear is also a vital member of the England U-19 squad after scoring in his debut in November 2023. He has been named to Tottenham’s senior squad since late 2022. But he has never had a chance to get a senior cap till now. Considering his heroics last season, Ange Postecoglou might give him a feature this season. But the Spurs coach can also opt to loan him out to a lower-tier club like Wrexham to polish his game.

The Red Dragons’ recently signed goalkeeper Callum Burton’s contract included three hilarious conditions. These are: he must agree Deadpool would beat Wolverine in a fight, salaries will be paid via Mouse pay, and he must be available as a backup dancer for the Declan Swans. The Declan Swans, notably, is the band that created the song ‘It’s Always Sunny in Wrexham.’ Though it might appear a little extra, these shrewd ideas prove Wrexham can provide a home away from home for any player who wishes to join the EFL League One side.
