Wrexham have fallen to defeat on the road once again.
Phil Parkinson took his Wrexham side to Stockport County on Saturday afternoon with the two sides locking horns once again.
This game has become a real rivalry and Wrexham sadly fell to defeat, losing 1-0 to Louie Barry’s first-half goal.
Stopper Callum Burton impressed Parkinson as he helped keep the score down, but Wrexham just couldn’t find the moment of quality in front of goal.
Wrexham remain third in League One but sit two points behind second-placed Birmingham City despite playing two games more.
Wrexham ready to spend on new striker
Parkinson won’t be too concerned right now but the away concerns are very real – and the January transfer window is looming.
Wrexham may dip into the market for new signings and a new striker could be on the wish list.
Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher are both out injured, sparking a short-term deal for free agent Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.
The Wrexham Insider understands that Wrexham are eyeing attacking reinforcements and more information is emerging elsewhere.
The Sun claim that Wrexham are ready to splash the cash on a striker with Championship experience.
It’s stated that Wrexham have secured a ‘massive’ sponsorship deal, which will be announced ahead of next season.
Wrexham are therefore ready to spend and the report claims that big wages are on offer to make the move to the STōK Cae Ras.
Who could Wrexham sign in January?
No names are given in the report but Wrexham have been linked with multiple strikers who have Championship experience in recent times.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Michael Smith stands out after Wrexham targeted a deal for him over the summer.
Wrexham held talks to sign Smith but couldn’t get the deal done, leaving Smith to stay with Wednesday.
Smith is out of contract at the end of the season and may fancy a January move having only started three Championship games for the owls this season.
The 33-year-old has scored three times in the Championship this term, including a stunner against Portsmouth in October.
Wrexham were also linked with Will Keane in August but the former Manchester United striker penned a new deal with Preston North End.
We can’t see Wrexham returning to that pursuit but with PNE struggling at the bottom end of the Championship, Wrexham may yet be able to tempt him away.
Another name to remember is Tom Bradshaw with the Millwall striker now returning from injury.
Wrexham were keen on Bradshaw in July but he suffered a major hamstring injury and is only just returning to action.
The Welshman ticks the boxes as a proven Championship striker but whether Wrexham return for him depends on his return to action.
