Wrexham manager says transfer business not done yet
Wrexham begins its Championship campaign away to Southampton, with eight new faces in line to make their club debut.
Ahead of his club's first second-tier game in over 43 years, Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson insisted that his team are far from done in the transfer market.
Wrexham kickstarts its 2025-2026 Championship campaign away to Southampton on Sunday, hoping to continue its fairytale rise up the ranks.
Parkinson has led the Welsh side from the National League to within one division of the Premier League, achieving three consecutive promotions in the process.
It has already strengthened significantly ahead of their trip to St. Mary's, with the notable additions of Danny Ward, Conor Coady, Kieffer Moore and Josh Windass.
Liberato Cacace also arrived from Empoli for a club-record fee reported to be £4m, which Wrexham soon surpassed with a £5m swoop for Nottingham Forest's Lewis O'Brien.
But Wrexham continues to be linked with more names before the summer window closes, including a potential move for Ipswich Town's Nathan Broadhead.
"I honestly don't know anything today, whether there's been any developments," Parkinson said about Wrexham's pursuit of Broadhead.
"He's Ipswich Town's player. Until I'm told differently, that's the way it'll stay. There's a number of deals we're looking into at the moment."
Parkinson says he has not been set targets by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, insisting regular improvement will constitute success for Wrexham this season.
"I think it's difficult to predict, but I said that last season in League One," explained Parkinson on the targets for the year ahead.
"Success for Wrexham is that, by the end of the season, we've continued to represent this great football club in the way we have over the last four years.
"If we do that I'll be very pleased and we'll see where that takes us. One thing with Rob and Ryan, they've never put pressure on us.
"It's about getting the squad and the template we set out in the summer.
"Can we fill the blanks where we needed players to come in to give us a chance to be competitive in the division?
"They're the conversations I have with Rob and Ryan rather than, 'we've got to do this or that'. They've just been supportive to help us build a competitive squad."
