Wrexham A.F.C. is reportedly one of the clubs interested in signing Augustine Boakye, a Ghanaian international who plays for Saint-Étienne. With the transfer window set to end on September 1st, Phil Parkinson aims to strengthen his squad's attack.
What's the situation?
As of now, Wrexham A.F.C. is 14th in the Championship, with 1 point from 1 game, and a recent form of D, having scored 1 goal and conceded 1, with a goal difference of 0. They are 2 points behind leaders QPR.
Who is Augustine Boakye?
Augustine Boakye is a 25-year-old Ghanaian international who can play both on the wing and in central attacking roles, giving Parkinson more creativity and flexibility behind his main strikers. He had a strong 2025/26 season in Ligue 2, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in 31 games.
Why is he a target?
Boakye's performances earned him a spot in Ghana's squad for the 2026 World Cup, though he did not play in the tournament. His ability to play in several attacking positions makes him a good fit for Parkinson, who is still building a squad expected to challenge near the top of the Championship.
What comes next?
With Kieffer Moore as the main striker, bringing in someone who can carry the ball, create chances, and score from the wings could give Wrexham another strong attacking option. Norwich is also rumored to be interested, and Anderlecht could give Boakye the chance to move to Belgium if they decide to push harder for him. As the transfer window nears its end, Boakye's situation is being closely watched, and his contract is running down, which may force Saint-Étienne to make a tough decision to either renew or sell for the highest market value they can.
