Wrexham have pulled off another major signing this week, seeing them leapfrog their Championship rivals in the spending table.

After winning promotion, the Dragons have opted for a major overhaul of their squad.

A number of players have left Wrexham this summer, including Steven Fletcher, Mark Howard and Paul Mullin.

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have allowed the club to break their transfer record several times.

Wrexham transfer spend compared to every Championship team

It was announced by the club on Thursday that Wrexham have signed Callum Doyle from Manchester City.

Man City can buy Doyle back and have a sell-on clause inserted into the left-sided defender’s deal.

After the capture of what has been dubbed an ‘incredible’ move for Wrexham, the Welsh club have moved up the Championship spending table.

Up until recently, it was Norwich City who held top spot, but they have now been overtaken by Wrexham and Ipswich Town.

Wrexham want more signings before deadline

The September 1 deadline is nearing but despite already completing 10 signings and topping the Championship spending list, more arrivals could still happen.

It has been reported that Wrexham want Andy Irving from West Ham United and have leapfrogged Rangers in their race for his signature.

A move for former Birmingham City ace Jordan James could be on the cards as well.

James could cost just over £4.3m, which would take Wrexham’s spending to nearly £30m.
