Wrexham have made a staggering transfer attempt in trying to sign an England international.
Phil Parkinson’s side, who were promoted to the Championship last season, are bidding to reach the Premier League in just two years, with the continued help of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Having already been linked with a move for Christian Eriksen this summer, the Welsh club want to assemble a squad capable of competing at the top of the Championship and are planning yet another statement move.
Wrexham make HUGE offer for England international to join

But with more to come, they have now turned their attention to an England international, who already has two promotions from the Championship to the Premier League on his footballing CV.

Coady, 32, is set to leave Leicester this summer and has plenty of Premier League and Championship know-how under his belt. He most recently played 22 times for the Foxes, as they were relegated back to England’s second tier last season.

The report adds how Coady is said to have been ‘impressed’ with the project shown to him by Wrexham’s hierarchy, and that talks are at an early stage. A £7.5m move for Ipswich Town striker Nathan Broadhead is also said to be in the pipeline.
Coady has 198 Premier League appearances to his name and was club captain at Wolves for large parts under Nuno Espirito Santo during which time the Midlands club enjoyed much success. The former Sheffield United man also has ten England caps.

At 32, he still has plenty to give and Parkinson would be taking another huge step forward if the club can get a move over the line.
