Wrexham AFC, the Welsh club owned by Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are making waves in the transfer market once again. According to reports, the Red Dragons are in advanced talks to secure Manchester City's highly-rated midfielder Tommy Doyle on a season-long loan deal.
Ambitious Wrexham Target Premier League Talent
The League Two outfit, fresh from their dramatic promotion last season, are showing serious ambition by targeting one of England's most promising young midfielders. Doyle, 22, has already made several Premier League appearances for Manchester City and enjoyed successful loan spells at Sheffield United and Cardiff City.
Why Doyle Could Be Perfect for Wrexham
The England U21 international would bring top-flight experience and technical quality to Phil Parkinson's side as they prepare for their League Two campaign. Doyle's passing range and set-piece expertise could prove invaluable for a team expected to dominate possession against many opponents this season.
Manchester City's Development Plan
Pep Guardiola's side are known for carefully managing their young talents' development, and another Championship loan was initially expected for Doyle. However, Wrexham's unique project and guaranteed playing time might convince all parties that a move to the Racecourse Ground is the right next step.
Hollywood Owners Continue to Deliver
Since Reynolds and McElhenney took over in 2020, Wrexham have become one of football's most fascinating stories. Their latest transfer target demonstrates their determination to build a squad capable of consecutive promotions and potentially challenging in League One next season.
The potential signing would follow the recent arrival of former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster, showing Wrexham's ability to attract players who could easily play at a higher level.
