Hollywood-backed Wrexham are making waves in the transfer market once again, with reports suggesting they're lining up a move for Sheffield Wednesday's attacking midfielder Josh Windass.
The Welsh club, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are looking to bolster their squad ahead of their League One campaign after back-to-back promotions.
Windass in Wrexham's Sights
The 30-year-old Windass has become a key target for Wrexham as they aim to strengthen their attacking options. With his contract at Sheffield Wednesday expiring this summer, the League One newcomers see an opportunity to land the experienced forward on a free transfer.
Windass has proven himself at Championship level, scoring crucial goals for Wednesday last season including the winner in their playoff final against Barnsley.
Hollywood Ambition
Reynolds and McElhenney's ambitious project at Wrexham continues to gather pace, with the club showing they're willing to compete for established EFL players. The potential signing of Windass would represent another statement of intent from the celebrity owners.
The Canadian and American stars have transformed Wrexham's fortunes since taking over in 2021, with their documentary series 'Welcome to Wrexham' bringing global attention to the historic club.
What Windass Would Bring
- Proven EFL experience at Championship and League One level
- Versatility to play across the front line
- Big-game mentality with crucial playoff goals
- Leadership qualities from his time at multiple clubs
While Sheffield Wednesday are keen to retain Windass' services, Wrexham's growing reputation and financial muscle could make them serious contenders for his signature.
