Wrexham are heading towards the January transfer window and Phil Parkinson is likely to prioritise attacking additions.
Wrexham still have two more games to play before bringing the curtain down on a hugely successful 2024.
Phil Parkinson guided Wrexham to promotion from League Two last season and is now challenging at the top end of League One.
Wrexham now take on Blackpool and Wigan Athletic to see out the year, with Parkinson hoping to build on his sensational home record.
The attention will quickly turn to the January transfer window though with Wrexham now just days away from being able to strengthen again.

Wrexham target loves Elliot Lee
Wrexham will be looking for attacking firepower in the January window after two frustrating draws against Cambridge United and Bristol Rovers.
Reports suggest that Wrexham want a Championship striker and a new name has been linked in recent days.
Bristol City forward Harry Cornick is on Wrexham’s radar according to reports emerging on Monday.
Charlton Athletic were also named as being interested in Cornick, who can play up front or out wide.
Cornick can leave Bristol City in January and a move to Wrexham would see him reunite with Elliot Lee.
Lee and Cornick crossed paths at Luton Town and the pair struck up an almost immediate connection at Kenilworth Road.
Speaking on Luton’s official YouTube channel in 2022, Cornick admitted that he ‘loved’ Lee during their time together with the Hatters.
Cornick went as far as suggesting that Lee is his favourite teammate ever and the pair were ‘inseparable’ at Luton.
Cornick was sad to see Lee leave Luton as he believed they were ‘on the same page’, a connection we could see rekindled at Wrexham.
“My favourite teammate… I mean, Elliot Lee… I loved him,” said Cornick. “I’m sad he left.
“Elliot Lee is probably my favourite teammate of all time. I feel like we were just on the same page all the time, inseparable, walking around everywhere just doing whatever, celebrating together,” he added.
Lee connection could be vital for Wrexham in Harry Cornick race
Charlton’s interested in Cornick is largely being driven by boss Nathan Jones.
Jones coached Cornick at Luton and he has already lured former Luton quartet Dan Potts, Luke Berry, Allan Campbell and Danny Hylton to The Valley.
The Welshman loves signing his former players and Cornick could be next.
That connection with Lee at least gives Wrexham an extra selling option on top of the promotion charge and the Hollywood project under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
Cornick may soon need to choose whether to reunite with Lee or Jones with his next move as his Luton history potentially becomes key to his future.
