Ryan Reynolds provides cryptic transfer clue to excite Wrexham fans

Ryan Reynolds' latest Instagram activity has got Wrexham fans excited ahead of the January transfer window.

Having been promoted back into the Football League, Phil Parkinson's side are currently third in League Two - six points off leaders Stockport County after a sublime campaign.

But the Red Dragons will no doubt be keen to add to their squad in January in a bid to secure back-to-back promotions.

And it co-owner Reynolds has hinted at being business in the market. On his Instagram story, the Deadpool star posted a screenshot to a Telegraph article on the UK's top 10 busiest rental markets.

Wrexham, the city, was at the top having averaged 56 number of enquiries per available rental property in 2023.

And Reynolds reacted by posting the Wales flag, accompanied by the caption: "If you happen to be in a transfer window".

Wrexham were busy in the summer window, with former Sunderland pair James McLean and Steven Fletcher their two stand-out additions.

Fletcher came in after talisman Paul Mullin suffered a punctured lung but attack is an area where Wrexham are still expected to strengthen.

However, we do know two strikers who won't be moving to the club. Sheffield United legend Billy Sharp, who memorably had a feud with the club before opening the door for a transfer, is set to join Hull City until the end of the season after leaving LA Galaxy.

And the club's top target in the summer has already found a new club for when January rolls around.

Harrogate Town striker Luke Armstrong looked nailed on to sign for Wrexham on deadline day after a club-record fee of £500,000 was agreed.

But even though the club announced his departure, the deal collapsed as the required paperwork was not completed before the deadline.

Armstrong is now joining Carlisle United and becomes their first high-profile addition under new American ownership.

"Harrogate Town, Carlisle United and Luke Armstrong can each confirm they have all reached and completed an agreement for a permanent transfer on 1 January 2024," a joint statement from both clubs said.

"Having already successfully completed his medical at Brunton Park, Luke will now leave Town with immediate effect to begin training with United, pending the opening of the transfer window and transfer of his registration."
