Wrexham are now looking to add another player to their squad on deadline day, with an offer prepared.

After already making 10 signings this summer, more incomings are expected at the Racecourse Ground on Monday.

Wrexham are signing Ben Sheaf from Coventry City in a £6.5m deal to improve their midfield.

Further back, The Wrexham Insider shared that Issa Kabore is joining from Manchester City. The player had interest from top-flight clubs around Europe but the Dragons have won the race.

Now, as well as Sheaf and Kabore, another addition could be made before the 7pm deadline.

Wrexham making offer for Zak Vyner

Reports over the weekend said that Wrexham had made a bid to sign Zak Vyner from Bristol City.

An offer, believed to be around £1.75m, is said to have been rejected by the Championship club.

The Dragons came back in with a £2m bid for Vyner, which was also rejected by The Robins.

However, Wrexham have not given up hope of getting a deal over the line, with a third offer of £2.5m incoming.

Journalist Darren Witcoop wrote: “Bristol City striker Sinclair Armstrong the subject of a number of loan offers from Championship and League One clubs. The Robins also battling to keep Zak Vyner with a third offer of £2.5m from Wrexham incoming.”

How could Wrexham use Zak Vyner

The 28-year-old joined Bristol City as a youngster and broke into their first team in 2020 after several loan spells.

In total, he has made 240 appearances for the Robins, scoring one and assisting one.

Like Wrexham, City operate with a back-five system with Vyner featuring as a centre-back.

So far this season, he has been used in the central centre-back or right-centre-back role.

In turn, he will likely compete with Conor Coady and Max Cleworth should a deal get over the line.
