Wrexham are eyeing a shock move for Denmark international Christian Eriksen. The Denmark international and former Manchester United midfielder would add much-needed depth to Forest’s squad in the second tier. Having departed Manchester United this past summer, Eriksen is a free agent. This status makes him an enticing target for clubs looking to improve their rosters.
Eriksen, 33, was granted the freedom of Old Trafford in his first season at Manchester United, starting 23 Premier League matches. That’s even more remarkable when you consider that he scored only one goal in his six seasons at the club. He notched two assists as well, underlining his offensive capabilities. As great a fit as Eriksen’s resume certainly makes him, Eriksen is allegedly holding out for a top-fight club. Wrexham’s ambition has caught his attention.
Wrexham’s Growing Ambitions
Wrexham returns to the English Football League Championship for the first time since 1982! Currently co-owned by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, the team is experiencing a thrilling return to form. The club has made significant strides since its promotion from non-league football, and its ownership group is committed to pushing Wrexham towards the Premier League.
This season, the club has already made six permanent signings, showing their desire to compete with the likes of QPR at the top of the table. Wrexham’s new management are apparently huge fans of Eriksen on the Asylum. Over the past few months, they’ve begun to woo him, trying to convince him that he’d be happier on their side of the fence. Eriksen, according to the Daily Mail, has been particularly impressed by Wrexham’s pitch and their ambitious plans for the future.
Talks Underway
While those initial talks with Wrexham would have gone well, they are still described as exploratory. Though Wrexham are keen to sign him, improving the situation is that the player’s ambition to join a club in the top division in Denmark may prove edifying. Nevertheless, Wrexham’s allure as a club on the rise may play a pivotal role in determining Eriksen’s next move.
As Eriksen considers his next move, the Dane’s decision could determine the future of not only his career, but Wrexham’s future hopes. The chance to be part of such an ambitious project far from home might just prove the irresistible draw for him. It could be exactly the impetus he requires to take the plunge into the Championship.
The Path Forward
Wrexham’s pursuit of the talented playmaker speaks to Wrexham’s ambition and the changing dynamic of English football. Clubs in lower divisions are increasingly becoming competitive forces, buying up prime assets. Signing a player of Eriksen’s stature would be a historic coup for Wrexham.
And as the summer transfer window continues, all eyes are on Wrexham. They’ll be waited to see as to whether or not the team is finally able to convince Eriksen to join their team. His experience and skill can provide important cushion for Wrexham as they try to find some footing in the Championship. With ultimate aim of the long term fortune of having a place in the Premier League.
