Wrexham are looking to bring in attacking options this summer as Sam Dalby prepares to leave the STōK Cae Ras.
Phil Parkinson will be ramping up Wrexham’s recruitment drive in June as he prepares for life in the Championship.
Wrexham are already being linked with attacking additions with changes expected in the final third.
CF Montreal’s Sunusi Ibrahim is a surprise name on Wrexham’s radar, while Danny Ings has also been eyed at the STōK Cae Ras.
Striking additions are inevitable with Steven Fletcher leaving the club and both Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer dropping down the pecking order.
Sam Dalby is also leaving Wrexham, having rejected a new contract to stay at the STōK Cae Ras.
Bolton Wanderers push for Sam Dalby deal
Dalby was sent on loan to Dundee United this past season as first-team action at Wrexham drifted away.
The move to Scotland worked wonders for Dalby as he racked up 15 goals in 35 league games for Dundee United, putting himself in the shop window.
Dalby was always likely to reject Wrexham’s offer of a new contract, as he looks to make the most of his stock being so high.
Blackpool are interested in Dalby and their League One rivals Wigan Athletic have eyed both Dalby and Paul Mullin.
The Daily Record now claim that Bolton Wanderers have made a strong push to secure Dalby’s signature.
It’s stated that Dalby visited Bolton last week in order to hold talks with the Trotters and explore a potential move.
Dundee United have made an offer to sign Dalby permanently, but English clubs are believed to be offering huge wages.
Dalby seemingly has his pick of clubs, but Bolton are moving to the front of the queue as they chase promotion from League One.
Steven Schumacher will be looking to launch a real charge towards the Championship and appears to feel that Dalby can be a key man in that push.

Sam Dalby has made the right call on Wrexham offer
Dalby enjoyed a brilliant season in Scotland and we can totally understand why Wrexham offered him a new deal.
The striker became a real asset this past season and Wrexham may have sensed a chance to sell him on down the line.
Dalby had to think about himself, though, and his decision to move on is the right one.
Dalby would have likely found himself down the pecking order if he has signed that Wrexham offer.
Strikers are leaving Wrexham this summer, but Parkinson will almost certainly bring in new goalscorers.
Wrexham are aiming for the top and players can quickly find themselves out of the picture; just look at the aforementioned Palmer.
Wrexham handed Palmer a new contract in the first half of the season, but he wasn’t even making the bench come the end of the campaign.
Dalby would have surely loved to be part of Wrexham’s rise for a little while longer, but he wants to be the main man in attack after shining for Dundee United – and Bolton could offer that prospect.
