Wrexham are in the market for a new midfielder this summer, with Charlie Savage among the names of interest.

Wrexham have been tipped to sign Christian Eriksen on a free transfer once he leaves Manchester United this month.

Eriksen has spoken about his future beyond the Red Devils and did leave the door open to staying in the UK.

Meanwhile, amid interest from Sheffield United and Sunderland, Wrexham are looking to sign Tommy Doyle from Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers.

As well as Doyle and Eriksen, we have previously revealed that Charlie Savage is liked by the Red Dragons.

Savage competed against Wrexham during the latest League One season, and his dad, Robbie Savage, has already commented on the Welsh outfit.

Robbie Savage predicted big things for Wrexham

Wrexham were still fighting for promotion out of League One in the middle of April.

They were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against Wigan Athletic that month, and Robbie Savage commented on Wrexham after that stalemate.

When doing so, he was quick to suggest that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s club could make the play-offs if they were promoted to the Championship, adding he backed the Dragons to bring in the players required to do so.

He said: “They’d have a chance in the Championship, they would, with the owners, with what they can bring in.

“I think they’d be looking at play-offs. Honestly, they can bring in the players. Look at the size of the club now, they’re flying!”

Robbie Savage on Wrexham style

In the same interview, Savage shared why he was left disappointed by Wrexham and commented on their style under Parkinson.

He added: “When I watched Wrexham against Reading, I was so disappointed with them. It was the first time I’d seen them live this season. I want Wrexham to go up in second place. I really, really do. It’d be brilliant for the town and the community, I think it would be absolutely fantastic.

“But when I watched them, it was like, ‘let’s stay in the game for 60 minutes and if it’s not going that well, let’s bring on Fletcher, let’s get the balls in the box and try and nick a goal in the last half hour of the game’. Listen, Phil Parkinson does it really, really well, they’re second in the league and he’s done unbelievable. They’ve got a way of playing, and it suits them really, really well. I’m just being honest and, listen, if I had players like that, I’d play that way.”

A move is not close right now, but there is still a chance his son could be playing under Parkinson by the time 2025/26 gets underway.
