Phil Parkinson hails Wrexham's ‘statement of intent' with Callum Doyle signing
The Red Dragons have been busy this summer as Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's men rebuild for their first season back in English football's second tier since the 1981-82 campaign. Doyle, who joins in a deal the PA news agency understands to be worth £7.5million, is Wrexham's 10th permanent signing since promotion and follows last week's club-record £10m purchase of Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich. The 21-year-old has signed a contract until 2029, with City holding a buy-back option and inserting a 25 per cent sell-on clause. A fresh pour of bold. Callum Doyle joins the squad. 🔴⚪️ #WxmAFC — Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) August 21, 2025 'Callum's a player we've obviously been looking at over the summer,' Wrexham boss Parkinson said. 'Always difficult deals to get because there's a player in demand. We've had to compete with some really good clubs to bring him here. 'He's only 21, he's got a lot of Championship experience, an England Under-21 international. I think he's a player of huge potential. 'This hasn't broken the transfer record. It's in line with other transfers we've made already this summer. Callum Doyle spent last season on loan at Norwich (Bradley Collyer/PA) 'But I think it is a statement of intent that we've won the signature over some established Championship clubs, who've been in the division and Premiership before recently, and obviously clubs in other European leagues.' Doyle came through the youth system at City, who have farmed the defender out on loans to Sunderland, Coventry, Leicester and most recently Norwich. The England Under-21 international already widespread Championship experience is in contention for Saturday's clash with Sheffield Wednesday. 'Obviously it's difficult to break through into Man City's team,' Parkinson said. 'I think Callum was at the stage in his career where he's ready to find a home, he'd had a lot of loan moves, and be part of something. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has had a busy summer in the transfer market (Cody Froggatt/PA) 'I've had a good chat with him over the last few days, and we were looking forward to getting him in with the boys. 'He's trained this morning with us and have another session and assess where he is fitness-wise because obviously he hasn't had loads of minutes, but he's here for the long term.' Wrexham may not stop there, though, and Parkinson says they are 'going to take stock' over a weekend they hope can mark the end their 43-year wait to win a match in the second tier. The Welsh side host the embattled Owls on Saturday afternoon having suffered a late 2-1 defeat in their opener at Southampton before falling to a 3-2 home loss to West Brom. Wednesday are having to balance off-field issues and Parkinson, who was manager of Bolton during some dark times, hopes they soon return to a sounder footing. 'You feel for the supporters of any club because football clubs are such a part of the community,' the Wrexham boss said. 'We know Sheffield (Wednesday), what pride they've got in that city, and the competition they have with United, et cetera. 'Everybody in football, we're all football people, understands that along the way that there are going to be clubs nearly every year who are in difficult situations, and it's important for the football community and world to support those clubs.'

Celtic have been warned they will walk into a a cauldron of noise when they arrive for next week's Champions League second leg playoff against Kairat Almaty in south-eastern Kazakhstan. Kairat blunted Brendan Rodgers' team and frustrated the expectant home crowd, as they secured a richly deserved if unexpected, 0-0 draw in the first leg of the tie on Wednesday evening. It means next week's crucial second leg will be a straight shootout of winner takes all. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Should Kairat secure the victory they need, they would become only the second Kazakh team to qualify for the Champions League, and on-loan striker Ricardinho admits the opportunity to make history for their fans will drive them on the second leg. Kairat Almaty fans enjoy the pre-game atmosphere ahead of the Champions League first leg playoff clash against Celtic on Wednesday. | SNS Group 'We needed to believe until the last moment,' said the 24-year-old. 'We worked for this. Everything is possible in football. I know Celtic is a very big club, but we are here, and it is 11 against 11. In football, anything is possible. It would make history. I have only been here a little bit of time, but if we win, I think we will make history in the country. So it is very, very important for us. We beat Slovan Bratislava last round, and it is a big thing. If we beat Celtic, it is real history. It will be a much bigger result.' Celtic will be forced to embark on a gruelling 7000-mile trip in order to reach the city located in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, and Ricardinho has warned the Scottish champions they'll be no respite when they enter the field at Central Stadium in Almaty. The Brazilian forward, who is spending the season on loan from Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen, admits the atmosphere at Celtic Park is the best he has ever experienced. However, he believes the 24,000 fans that are expected to pack out Kairat's compact stadium next week will text Celtic's resilience, alongside the soaring 30C temperatures.

'For me, it was a very difficult game. I don't know for you, but for me it was very hard and we made a very good job of it. I have played in a lot of Championships, but this stadium and the Champions League is the best. It is amazing. It is a very good result, but we have one more game, and Celtic is a very, very good team. We need to be careful and play the game of our lives.

Celtic stung by soaring transfer asking price for key target but £4.5m deal edges closer
Brendan Rodgers has endured a frustrating window and Celts could be priced out of a deal for a summer target Celtic could be forced to cough up even more for summer target Jakob Breum - if they qualify for the Champions League. The Hoops have had multiple bids thrown out by Go Ahead Eagles for the playmaker, who was also the subject of interest from Dutch giants PSV. Celtic remain in the market for more creative options and could yet reignite their interest in versatile Breum - who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a left winger. Reports in the Netherlands have suggested that the Scottish champions returned to the negotiating table this week but the Herald states those claims are wide of the mark. The Parkhead club saw an initial £1.5m bid thrown out for the Denmark Under-21 starlet earlier this summer, and an improved £3m offer was also swiftly rejected. Go Ahead Eagles are standing firm on their £5m valuation of the player but would demand an additional £1m in bonus payments should Celts get past Kazakhstan minnows Kairat Almaty next Tuesday. The £40m playoff hangs in the balance after the Hoops slumped to a goalless draw at Parkhead on Wednesday night - with furious fans chanting "Sack the Board" in protest at the lack of quality transfer business. Rodgers, ideally, would like two new wingers and a main striker in the door before the September 1 deadline, as well as a left-back. However, they risk paying an inflated price tag for Breum if they secure a golden ticket to the Champions League proper, according to the Herald. Celtic are edging closer to completing the signing of long-term target Michel-Ange Balikwisha after agreeing to stump up £4.5m for the Antwerp winger. The deal, though, has been held up by complications in Balikwisha's camp. Antwerp already have a like-for-like replacement in the door after announcing the signing of Saudi wide man Marwan Al Sahafi.
