According to reports, Wrexham have made a £500,000 bid for Peterborough striker Kabongo Tshimanga.
Wrexham are looking to strengthen in attack before this window concludes, and it appears they’re setting their sights on 26-year-old Tshimanga. It’s a strange player to seek after, due to the fact the forward has only just been signed on a permanent basis from Chesterfield earlier this summer.
The deal Peterborough made with Chesterfield is that he would join on loan for the remainder of the 22/23 season and then had an obligation to buy this summer.
But after only making nine substitute appearances for the Posh with zero goals to his name, he could be out of the door as soon as he’s fully walked in.

Wrexham bid £500k for Tshimanga
According to TeamTalk, Wrexham has tabled a bid for Peterborough United striker Kabongo Tshimanga which is believed to be in the region of £500,000.
The Red Dragons are now waiting for a response from Peterborough regarding the bid.
Tshimanaga started Peterborough’s Tuesday night Carabao Cup fixture against Swindon Town, but with the British striker looking like a bench player this season – he could be swayed with a move to Rob McElhenney‘s and Ryan Reynolds‘ side.
Why do Wrexham potentially want to sign Kabongo Tshimanga?
Although he’s struggled since his move to Cambridgeshire – the forward has proven he’s a clinical goalscorer across the EFL.
For his last club, Chesterfield, he netted 32 goals in 51 games – a remarkable return for any forward in any division.
Peterborough’s boss spoke with the club’s official website about the qualities of Tshimanga when they signed him.
“He had an injury, which curtailed his progress a little, but he has been available for 21 games since and I really like him as a player,” Ferguson said.
“He is strong, quick, a scorer of different types of goals and is a really good age. I am really excited about it.
Wrexham could have a gem if anything materialises. Watch this space.
