There are plenty of players available as Wrexham gear up for what is expected to be a busy summer window.

Wrexham have been told to complete six to nine transfers in the upcoming window after winning promotion to the Championship.

The Red Dragons are expected to quadruple their wage budget to over £40m now they are in the second tier, with the calibre of player being targeted much higher.

The most recent link has seen it claimed that Wrexham are interested in Harry Darling of Swansea City.

He will be available on a free transfer when his contract runs out next month, as will fellow transfer target Jack Kingdon.

Phil Parkinson suggests Wrexham will sign free agents

Wrexham have money to spend in the Championship, but comments from Phil Parkinson suggested cheaper options will be looked at as well.

Speaking recently, Parkinson addressed transfers and potentially new arrivals, pointing toward the club exploring the free agent market.

The Welsh outfit have enjoyed much success on this front in recent years, landing the likes of Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee, and Arthur Okonkwo for no transfer fee.

And the manager has admitted that this is something that could happen once more in the upcoming window.

He said: “We have always got our eye on players who are free transfers and going to be available, and we’ll continue to do that.”

Best free agents currently available

A number of players will become available for free next month when their deals run out on June 30.

Jonny Evans is of interest to Wrexham, and he could leave Manchester United for nothing soon.

However, there are already a number of players who are without a club that could be looked at.

With this in mind, we have used Transfermarkt to look at the 10 most valuable free agents available right now.

The most notable names on that list are former FC Barcelona player Rafinha, ex-Tottenham Hotspur right-back Serge Aurier, and former Premier League forward Isaac Success.

That top-10 will likely change come the end of next month, but there are already plenty of solid free agents looking for new sides.
