Wrexham eye triple Premier League transfer including ex-England duo
Wrexham have set about their ambitious transfer activity with several Premier League stars, including Danny Ings, on their radar ahead of their Championship return Wrexham have set their sights on a number of Premier League veterans ahead of their return to the Championship with former England duo Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell both on their radar. The pair have just left West Ham and are on the lookout for new clubs. Cresswell and Ings are both into their 30s, but will have plenty to offer if they dropped down to the second tier with the Welsh side. Wrexham, backed by their Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have continued to show their financial muscle when it comes to their recruitment and are looking to add several players with top flight experience. Ings moved to West Ham from Aston Villa for £12million in January 2023, but is already no longer part of the club's plans. Cresswell, meanwhile, who has won three caps with the Three Lions, has been performing for the Hammers in the Premier League for a decade and is another player who would add valuable experience and quality. Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward is another man who is on the market, reports The Sun. He is free to leave Leicester after a difficult spell and could and has landed 44 caps for his country. He was a schoolkid at Wrexham before joining Liverpool in 2012 and could relish the chance to return to the Racecourse Ground. The Welsh-based outfit have also put former Wolves centre-back Craig Dawson on their shortlist of targets, but may face competition from Derby. The 35-year-old wants to remain playing but the Rams want to bring him to Pride Park. Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson has also admitted that the club will look to exercise the loan market, knowing that players will be willing to drop down one league. "The loan market is something we are looking at," he told The Athletic. "It's all about touching base with the Premier League loans managers, making sure we have an understanding of who could become available. "We can probably attract a better calibre of player than we'd have been able to do in the past. Premier League teams are reluctant to loan out their elite players into League One. It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on." Wrexham have become the first team to reach the second via three promotions in a row. They've shot up from the National League and secured their spot in the Championship after finishing second in League One.

Premier League star wows thousands of fans as he plays guitar on stage with the Kaiser Chiefs at huge anniversary gig
THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans. Leeds' promotion-winning striker Patrick Bamford joined the rockers' homecoming gig on stage with a guitar. 4 Patrick Bamford seemed to enjoy his cameo almost as much as winning promotion back to the Premier League... almost! 4 Kalvin Phillips tagged in Patrick Bamford and Middlesbrough's ex-Leeds hero Luke Ayling in his Instagram post 4 Bamford made a crowd-pleasing appearance Kalvin Phillips then heightened talk of a return to Elland Road by labelling his former team-mate a "legend" for his cameo. Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise cameo. The Kaiser Chiefs are best known for their massive hit I Predict a Riot, which was also the theme tune for the Whites' party after Championship title glory last month. But no-one predicted Bamford's appearance at the gig on the 20th anniversary of the group's first album.

He wore a Leeds top from 2000-01 with 'Viduka 9' on the back. Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004. And he too reacted to Bamford's guitar-playing cameo. 4 The Kaiser Chiefs added to the party mood across the city BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege." Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed Leeds' prolonged celebrations, including a trip to Vegas, after they pipped Burnley to the second-tier crown. Inside Leeds stars' wild title celebrations as Bamford and Ampadu 'leave Burnley fanbase in meltdown' with karaoke song Daniel Farke's side are returning to the Premier League after two seasons out. And many reckon Phillips will be making his own comeback - to Elland Road. The 29-year-old has had a dire three years away after joining Manchester City, typified by injury and then mediocre loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich. Phillips bigged up Bamford on Instagram as he responded to the star's rocking intervention by posting: "What an absolute legend". That's also the status Phillips had at his hometown club Leeds. But the anchorman he could be out for two months following surgery on an Achilles problem. And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs. One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!' Another wrote: "Great day out at what was a mini-festival more than a gig. Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."

Chelsea 'agree personal terms with Ipswich striker Liam Delap' as they close in on £30m deal - with medical 'already booked' after rivals were snubbed
Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Ipswich striker Liam Delap as they close in on sealing a bargain £30million deal, according to reports. As reported by Mail Sport, the Blues won the race to secure Delap's signature and he is set to put pen to paper on a long-term contract after undergoing a medical. Those checks are said to have been pencilled in on Monday, with the club moving quickly to officially wrap up the transfer ahead of the Club World Cup. Delap, 22, picked Stamford Bridge as his next destination and snubbed big-name interest from the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle in the process. After the frontman scored 12 Premier League goals in his 37 appearances for the relegated Tractor Boys, the Blues wasted no time in registering their interest. A deal was then struck that will see them activate his £30million release clause. His cut-price valuation came into effect after Ipswich's drop into the Championship. Delap will shortly undergo his medical before penning a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge Enzo Maresca is believed to have spoken to Delap as Chelsea pitched their project - with the ace having been given permission to speak to potential suitors. The Athletic have reported that Delap has also now agreed his personal terms. Ipswich paid £20m when they signed Delap from Manchester City last summer, and City will bank 30 per cent of the overall fee as per their sell-on clause. Talks are ongoing over the possibility of Chelsea forward Marc Guiu, who has made 14 appearances for the Blues, moving to Portman Road on loan in a separate deal. Chelsea will have to make a decision over whether Delap travels to the Club World Cup or competes with England at the Under-21 European Championship in Slovakia. The club will have the final say once he signs. Delap spent much of his youth career at Derby before joining City's academy in 2019. However, he made just six appearances for the Premier League heavyweights' first-team and was sent out on loan to Stoke, Preston and Hull.
