Wrexham continue to be linked with potential striking additions but one rumoured target surely won’t be on the move this week.
Phil Parkinson has been given a major boost on top of Wrexham’s impressive start to the new season.
Wrexham have taken seven points from the first three games of the League One campaign with last weekend’s 3-0 win over Reading a particular high.
As if three goals and three points wasn’t good enough, Wrexham also welcomed back Paul Mullin from injury against Reading.
Mullin returns to give Wrexham a boost in attack, though Parkinson has been impressed with the impact of Jack Marriott.
Ollie Palmer, Steven Fletcher, Sam Dalby and Jake Bickerstaff are still in the mix but Wrexham fans would love one more goalscorer to arrive.
Wrexham can forget about Tom Bradshaw
Wrexham could be in the League One play-off mix this season but this is a long League One campaign and Parkinson will need options.
Another goalscorer could really take Wrexham to another level and so many strikers have been linked this summer.
One name mentioned back in July was Tom Bradshaw with Wrexham allegedly keen on the Millwall forward.
A Welsh international with bags of experience in League One and the Championship, Bradshaw would have been viewed as a guaranteed source of goals.
Millwal boss Neil Harris ruled out a Bradshaw transfer though, leaving Wrexham to seemingly look elsewhere.
Any lingering chance of Bradshaw heading to Wrexham before the transfer deadline has effectively been extinguished though after he picked up an injury.
Bradshaw suffered a hamstring injury against Leyton Orient on Tuesday night and boss Neil Harris says the injury is a ‘bad one’.
Harris told reporter Richard Cawley that Millwall are unlikely to see Bradshaw in action any time soon, effectively ruling out any prospect of a late transfer.
Wrexham have other strikers in mind
Bradshaw won’t be joining Wrexham any time soon but another striker does appear to still be a priority for Parkinson and co.
Michael Smith has been targeted but a deal for the Sheffield Wednesday striker has not progressed.
Wrexham have also eyed up Preston North End’s Will Keane as he enters the final year of his contract.
PNE have allegedly rejected Wrexham’s bid for Keane though, which was believed to be worth around £750,000.
Those two strikers – as well as Bradshaw – fit in the mould of an experienced striker who has already proven his worth at Championship level.
Wrexham could now go in a different direction though and claims from Gambia suggest that West Bromwich Albion’s Modou Fall is close to joining Wrexham.
The 21-year-old is a huge physical presence and impressed on loan at Doncaster Rovers as well as Walsall last season.
Fall would be more of a project for Wrexham but will hope to see him become a star at the STōK Cae Ras.
