Wrexham A.F.C. manager Phil Parkinson has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current squad, stating that they are not where they want to be. The team has signed three new players this summer, but Parkinson believes they need more to compete in the Championship. The squad is currently 24 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race.
What happened?
Wrexham A.F.C. have been linked with several players, including Viking FK defender Henrik Falchener. The team has already seen two bids for Falchener rejected, but they are considering a third offer that could break their transfer record. The latest offer was reportedly worth a potential $10.92 million, surpassing the initial $10.8 million spent on goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Sunderland earlier in the week.
Why it matters for Wrexham A.F.C.
The signing of Falchener would be a significant boost for Wrexham A.F.C.'s defense, which has conceded 65 goals this season. The team has scored 69 goals, but their goal difference is still a concern. Parkinson believes that the squad needs to be strengthened to compete in the Championship.
What comes next?
Wrexham A.F.C. begin the new Championship season when they travel to face Welsh rivals Cardiff City on Monday. Ahead of the match, Parkinson was asked about the latest transfer rumors. He stated that the team is still not where they want to be with the squad and that they need to make sure the squad is capable of dealing with the rigors of a Championship season.
