Share
- Wrexham are in talks to sign Danny Ings as they prepare for the Championship
- The former West Ham striker is available on a free transfer
- Tottenham’s Ben Davies was also a target but signed a contract extension
- Wrexham continue to search for top-level experience under Reynolds and McElhenney
Wrexham’s bold recruitment strategy for their return to the Championship includes an ambitious move for former England striker Danny Ings. The experienced forward is set to leave West Ham United this summer after his contract expired, and sources suggest the Welsh side has already opened discussions. As the Red Dragons build momentum under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, they are actively pursuing proven Premier League talent. For fans following top-tier transfer updates, check out our detailed Premier League Predictions.
Ings, 31, scored five goals during a challenging spell at West Ham but remains a respected figure with Premier League pedigree. His potential move to Wrexham would bring not just firepower but leadership to a squad eager to make a strong Championship impression after a 42-year absence. While still a long shot, signing Ings would signal serious intent from the North Wales club.
However, not all of Wrexham’s targets have panned out. A move for Tottenham defender Ben Davies appears off the table after Spurs confirmed they had exercised a one-year extension on the Welsh international’s deal. Davies, 32, would have brought much-needed stability to the backline, especially given his deep Premier League and international experience.
The club’s recent trajectory has seen them linked with several high-profile names, from Jamie Vardy to Kevin De Bruyne. While those links may lean more toward tabloid speculation, Wrexham’s interest in players like Ings and Davies reveals a genuine desire to blend ambition with realism. The club remains committed to strengthening in areas that will help them compete in a tougher, faster Championship environment.
As transfer season heats up, Wrexham’s recruitment team will likely continue targeting free agents and veterans with top-flight know-how. Their long-term project demands smart moves—not just marquee names. And with interest intensifying, the next few weeks could shape how far the club can go. Fans eager to track such developments may also want to keep tabs on the latest Premier League Predictions to gauge who else could be on Wrexham’s radar.
