Exciting times at Wrexham FC with the club set to smash their transfer record once again! A £10 million deal for Ipswich Town’s Nathan Broadhead is on the horizon, making waves among fans and stirring up a mix of excitement and concern.
Broadhead, a 27-year-old Wales international, began his journey at Wrexham’s youth academy and seems keen to return home. Despite an initial fee of £7.5m being delayed due to Ipswich’s situation, the recent loan signing of Chuba Akpom has cleared the path for his transfer.
With the backing of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, this will be the third record-breaking signing for Wrexham this summer, following Liberato Cacace and Lewis O’Brien. However, some fans are questioning if this financial bravery is wise without a permanent training facility in place. Voices on social media range from, “If we can’t find a better striker for £10m, then we need to look at our recruitment,” to “£10m for Broadhead? Mmm okay.”
Despite the mixed reactions, this move is certainly a statement of intent, heading into a promising season. Broadhead, who was instrumental during Ipswich’s recent promotions, is expected to join the Red Dragons soon as they prep for their clash against West Brom.
