Wrexham line up move for Tottenham star as Phil Parkinson looks to strengthen his squad for the Championship
Wrexham want Ben Davies despite Tottenham exercising their option to extend the defender's contract by 12 months at the weekend. Davies has been a Spurs player since 2014 and he featured in 28 games under Ange Postecoglou last season, despite not being a member of the manager's first-choice XI. Davies has played 358 games for Tottenham in total, operating both as a left back and a central defender. He is a popular member of the dressing room and especially close to captain Son Heung-min. Davies recently saw his contract extended until June 2026, which means Wrexham would likely need to pay Spurs a modest transfer fee to land him this summer. Tottenham's willingness to let Davies leave could depend on whether or not they are successful in their attempts to sign Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. Spurs are expected to formalise their interest in 22-year-old Branthwaite next week. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson looks set for a busy summer following his side's promotion from League One to the Championship. Davies has never played below the top tier of English football, having been a Premier League player for his entire club career to date. The 32-year-old made 71 Premier League appearances for Swansea between 2012 and 2014. He has played a further 242 Premier League games for Spurs.

Ross McCausland transfer latest as Rangers winger sees fight for his signature multiply
The Northern Ireland ace still has two years left to run on his contract and is keen to be part of Russell Martin's plans. Cardiff City is the latest club to register an interest in Rangers winger Ross McCausland. The Northern Ireland ace still has two years left to run on his Ibrox contract and is keen to be part of new gaffer Russell Martin's plans. But with Rangers in the market for wide players, several clubs are keeping tabs on McCausland's situation. English League one sides Cardiff and Plymouth Argyle, as well as MLS club FC Cincinnati, are all monitoring the 22-year-old in this transfer window. While Belgian side OH Leuven and Swiss outfit Basel also have McCausland on their radar. Record Sport understands he'd prefer to stay at his boyhood club but with a squad overhaul on the cards at Ibrox, Martin could listen to offers for the youngster who made 25 appearances for Rangers last term. McCausland moved to Ibrox in 2019 from Linfield and was given first-team opportunities by ex-gaffer Philippe Clement. He scored in the club's 2-0 Europa League win over Malmo last season but failed to nail down a regular starting slot. New boss Martin is still assessing his squad and potential targets, alongside Ibrox sporting director Kevin Thelwell. He's keen to land Leicester City defender Conor Coady to bolster his backline and have already made contact with the Foxes.
