Wrexham can finally secure 'dream' signing Ben Foster tried to convince join the club

Wrexham could now make a move for a huge signing which Ben Foster tried to make happen during his time at the club.

Wrexham may be presented with the chance to finally secure a dream signing after earning promotion to League One.

After being stuck in the National League for 15 years, the Red Dragons have bagged back-to-back promotions and will play in the third tier next season.

The club can only register 22 players in League One and so there have been a wave of notable departures from the side.

But Wrexham do have huge financial backing from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and will still have one of the highest wage bills in League One.

They could well dip into the free agent market when it comes to new signings and one huge player tipped to sign in the past is now available.

During his Soccer Aid vlog at Old Trafford last year, Ben Foster, playing for Wrexham at the time, tried to tap up former teammate Nani.

The ex Manchester United winger was also playing in the charity game and Foster made a cheeky attempt to bring him to the Welsh outfit.

"Nani hasn't got a club everybody," Foster said.

"I think he should come to Wrexham..."

The former Portugal international replied, "You never know", leading to a laugh from Foster who couldn't help but call him a "liar".

At the time, Nani had recently left Australian A-League side Melbourne Victory after just one season where he suffered an ACL rupture.

He ended up returning to Turkey with Adana Demirspor, where he played 34 times in all competitions and scored four goals.

It's been confirmed that he has left the club but with Nani still in incredible shape and has desire to hang up his boots just yet.

In an official statement on his X account, he wrote: "I would like to announce that I have amicably terminated my contract with Adana Demirspor with immediate effect.

"I would like to thank the fans for all their support. I will now consider the next steps to take in my playing career."
