Wrexham are among several sides heavily linked with making a move to sign non-league ace Olukayode Osu, including a Premier League side.
Wrexham are a club that will always be on the hunt for players to raise the club’s level.
However, with such a strong squad already, that as of now looks to be at least set for playoff action, it will be difficult to improve.
Especially when league rivals aren’t keen on selling to the Town. This issue led Phil Parkinson to admit last summer that it was difficult to bring players into the club due to other club’s reluctance to sell.
But the most recent transfer rumours seem to suggest Wrexham have identified a non-league talent who could make the jump to the EFL- the problem is, that multiple other clubs have too.
Wrexham interested in signing Olukayode Osu
According to a report from TeamTalk, Wrexham are set to rival several clubs for the signature of non-league sensation Olukayode Osu.
Among those interested are the team that props up the Premier League, Sheffield United.
Championship clubs West Brom and Huddersfield are also linked with the Bracknell Town man, along with League One side Barnsley.
Wrexham mixing it up with clubs in higher divisions can only be a good thing and could result in a rapid rise up the leagues.
Can Wrexham compete with a Premier League side in transfers?
For all Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s riches, the prospect of competing financially with a club in the Premier League side is possibly out of the question.
Last season, the Town showed that on the field they could compete against Sheffield United, however, you would have to imagine this will be a different story.
Osu himself may favour a move to The Racecourse Ground with more opportunity to play and the chance to star in a documentary, so if he arrives we will know it isn’t for the finances.
It does remind us though of the ambition at Wrexham and how League Two isn’t the final destination.
