Wrexham have snapped up Ryan Hardie, but that may not be the end of the attacking additions for Phil Parkinson.
Wrexham have already allowed two forwards to leave the STōK Cae Ras this summer.
Steven Fletcher was released by Wrexham in May as the veteran striker learned that he would not receive a new contract.
Paul Mullin has now left Wrexham for Wigan Athletic, joining Ryan Lowe’s side on a season-long loan deal.
Phil Parkinson is now moving to bolster his attacking ranks, with Wrexham completing the signing of Ryan Hardie last week.
Hardie has joined Wrexham in a £700,000 move, and the Scot is unlikely to be the only attacking addition this summer.
Wrexham target Davis Keillor-Dunn backed for Championship
Wrexham are also interested in Davis Keillor-Dunn, with the Barnsley ace landing himself on Parkinson’s radar.
Keillor-Dunn is a familiar name to many Wrexham fans, having briefly joined the club back in 2020.
The 27-year-old played just six league games before heading to Oldham Athletic, where his rise really started.
Now with Barnsley, Keillor-Dunn has been rising through the leagues and was one of League One’s top performers last season.
Keillor-Dunn racked up 18 goals and five assists last season, starring for the Tykes despite their 12th-place finish.
Wrexham are eyeing a return for Keillor-Dunn, and EFL pundit Don Goodman believes he is ready for the step up to Championship level.
Speaking to Football League World, pundit Goodman suggested that Keillor-Dunn was simply ‘magnificent’ for Barnsley last season.
Goodman felt Keillor-Dunn was a major factor for Barnsley despite their defensive woes, and believes he now deserves a shot at Championship football.
“I think Davis Keillor-Dunn is ready for a shot at the Championship,” said Goodman.
“He obviously had the most magnificent season at Barnsley: 18 goals and seven assists. Very, very versatile player in the prime of his abilities at the age of 27.
“On the back of the season he had for Mansfield Town, having a brilliant season for Barnsley, in a season that didn’t go particularly well for Barnsley in terms of finishing 12th.
“But the reason they finished 12th was nothing to do with the attacking element of their team. They simply let too many goals in at the other end. But he was a major factor, and I do think he’s probably ready for a shot at the Championship,” he added.
Wrexham may face a huge price tag for Davis Keillor-Dunn
Initial reports around a potential move for Keillor-Dunn suggested that a fee of around £2.5million to £3million would be required.
That would be a new record for Wrexham and an enormous outlay for a player who left the STōK Cae Ras for nothing five years ago.
More recent claims suggest that Barnsley are demanding even more money, possibly up to £5million.
The Barnsley Chronicle claim the Tykes are asking for big money, similar to the money they received for Alfie Mawson and Marc Roberts.
Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough are also thought to be keen on Keillor-Dunn, with clubs seemingly agreeing with Goodman in terms of his suitability for the Championship.
Wrexham may be keen, but it’s difficult to imagine a £5million deal being struck for Keillor-Dunn’s signature this summer.
