Wrexham are in need to players with experience as they make a return to the second tier of English football

Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham look set to recruit ambitiously following promotion to the Championship, with several Premier League players on their list.

The north Wales club have a number of top-flight veterans in mind, with West Ham duo Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell both being considered as the Welsh side look to strengthen before their return to the second tier

The Hammers pair are both looking for a new club this summer, after their contacts ended at the end of the 24/25 season.

Both players are entering the twilight of their careers, however their experience could be invaluable to an ever-improving Wrexham team.

The Red Dragons will likely continue to show their financial might in the transfer market, with the backing of Hollywood owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Ings moved to West Ham from Aston Villa for £12million, however with only one goal last season it seems his time is up in east London.

As for Cresswell, the ex-England international has served the Hammers for the best part of a decade and would also bring that Premier League nous that Wrexham will need to push for their fourth successive promotion.

For the goalkeeper position, manager Phil Parkinson is also looking for a senior figure, just like Ben Foster back when the side achieved promotion from the National League.

Danny Ward is someone who is being considered, report The Sun. The Welshman has earned 44 caps for his country and after seven years with Leicester City, he will be a free agent alongside his team-mate Jamie Vardy.

Before joining Liverpool in 2012 Ward played for Wrexham and it is the place he was born and perhaps a return to the Racecourse Ground could be on the cards for the Welsh international.

The Championship side’s list of targets also includes veteran Wolves defender Craig Dawson.

The 35-year-old is keen on continuing his career, however Wrexham might face tough competition from Derby who also want to bring the centre-back into their ranks.

Parkinson has revealed that his team will be looking to exploit any loan opportunities that appear in the market. “The loan market is something we are looking at,” he said when speaking to The Athletic. “It’s all about touching base with the Premier League loans managers, making sure we have an understanding of who could become available.”

The 57-year-old has acknowledged that the club’s new Championship status will allow more ambition in the summer transfer window.

“We can probably attract a better calibre of player than we’d have been able to do in the past,” he added. “Premier League teams are reluctant to loan out their elite players into League One. It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on.”
