Wrexham are currently enjoying a hard-earned trip to Las Vegas for the second year running as Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds rewarded the squad for an excellent season.
Phil Parkinson’s men returned to the third tier of English football for the first time in 19 years after earning 88 points from their 46 matches.
It wasn’t enough to win the title ahead of Stockport County, but there is real belief from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney that Wrexham can achieve three consecutive promotions by reaching the Championship.
Reynolds has claimed he’ll do whatever it takes to lead Wrexham into the second tier, with the Hollywood superstar set to arm Parkinson with the budget to get them there.
A hectic pre-season awaits the Reds as the club have already announced eight players will leave upon the expiry of their contracts, including long-serving duo Luke Young and Ben Tozer.
Before they properly get their teeth stuck into preparing the squad, however, the players are currently savouring their promotion with a wild party in Las Vegas.
Arthur Okonkwo drops Wrexham transfer hint in Las Vegas
Video footage from a nightclub in Las Vegas was shared on social media on Friday, showing Wrexham’s jubilant celebrations.
This wasn’t the only footage captured from their promotion party as on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo was pictured wearing a Wrexham scarf next to teammates Andy Cannon and George Evans.
The 22-year-old has been subjected to transfer interest from Championship and European clubs, but following his fantastic season in Wales, Humphrey Ker is ‘desperate’ to capture him permanently.
Okonkwo was named in the League Two Team of the Season and has settled in well at Wrexham, so him wearing a scarf on a night out could point towards him wanting to stay at the club beyond the summer.
Wrexham would be the best move for Arthur Okonkwo
The young Arsenal shot-stopper has developed brilliantly under Parkinson and if he remains at the club, he can become a pivotal player in League One.
Of course, with second-tier sides sniffing for his signature, it could be difficult to sign him from the Gunners.
Although the fact he’s a fan favourite among the supporters, has a close-knit bond with the teammates and doesn’t need any time to bed in, all point towards it making sense for Okonkwo to snub every other club and join Wrexham.
After all, the young goalkeeper embodies the journey the club are going on and signing permanently would set the tone for their transfer business.
