Wrexham now targeting ex-Liverpool ace and England international adored by Jurgen Klopp
Wrexham now targeting ex-Liverpool ace and England international adored by Jurgen Klopp Wrexham are looking to make a statement in the transfer market this summer and are weighing up an ambitious move for a former Liverpool striker who has been capped by England Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's Wrexham are targeting another big name star (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images ) Wrexham are reportedly setting their sights on another England-capped player as they gear up to compete in the Championship. The club's owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have made no secret of their Premier League ambitions after achieving promotion from League One in April. Manager Phil Parkinson is preparing for a pivotal summer transfer window as he plans to revamp his team. The Red Dragons have already been associated with several top-tier players with international experience, including Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson and defender Aaron Cresswell, who is leaving West Ham as a free agent. According to the Daily Mail, Wrexham now have their eyes set on an audacious bid to sign another Hammers player, Danny Ings. The forward, who has represented his country three times, is also set to become a free agent after a two-and-a-half-year stint at the London Stadium. The 32-year-old first made a name for himself at Burnley as a young player before securing a move to Liverpool in 2015. However, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury significantly affected his time at Anfield following a lengthy spell out of action. Despite eventually falling out of favour, Ings was highly regarded by then-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. The German boss had nothing but praise for him when his move to Southampton was announced in 2018.

Honestly, if you could bottle his character and spirit, his would sell worldwide - he is so incredibly positive and full of energy. "But we won't just miss his character, because he is a footballer who has all the tools. What is clear is that in his time here he had zero luck really, certainly in my time. "Before joining I tried to watch as many games on tape as I could from the season so far and Danny Ings stood out as someone I was really looking forward to coaching." West Ham team-mates Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell are being chased by Wrexham (Image: Vince Mignott/) Ings experienced more favourable times at Southampton, where he registered 46 goals in 100 outings between 2018 and 2021. He then transferred to Aston Villa for a reported fee of around £25million. During his stint with Villa, Ings made 52 appearances and scored 14 goals before his January 2023 move to West Ham. His spell in east London has been challenging, marred by injuries, leading him to seek fresh opportunities. The Premier League club announced Ings' exit earlier this month, alongside those of Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, and Vladimir Coufal. Head coach Graham Potter said: "Aaron, Lukasz, Vladimir and Danny have been a pleasure to work with in my time here so far.

Wrexham eyeing another England-capped star and ex-Liverpool ace loved by Klopp
Wrexham are preparing for a busy summer transfer window ahead of playing in the Championship next term, and have been linked with yet another Premier League star Wrexham are reportedly eyeing a move for yet another England-capped star as they look to compete in the Championship. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have made their ambition of reaching the Premier League very clear after securing promotion from League One in April. Manager Phil Parkinson is planning for a busy summer transfer window as he looks to reshape his squad. The Red Dragons have already been linked with several top-flight players with international pedigree, including Newcastle United frontman Callum Wilson and defender Aaron Cresswell, who's departing West Ham as a free agent. Wrexham are now aiming to pull off an ambitious attempt to sign another Hammers player in Danny Ings, according to the Daily Mail. The striker, who has made three appearances for his country, is also due to become a free agent after spending two-and-a-half years at the London Stadium. The 32-year-old made his name at Burnley as a youngster before securing a move to Liverpool in 2015. However, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury had a major impact on his time at Anfield after a long spell on the sidelines. Despite eventually falling down the pecking order, Ings was much-loved by then-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. The German manager sang his praises when his departure to Southampton was announced in 2018. He told the club's official website: "He is such an outstanding boy. Honestly, if you could bottle his character and spirit, his would sell worldwide - he is so incredibly positive and full of energy. "But we won't just miss his character, because he is a footballer who has all the tools. What is clear is that in his time here he had zero luck really, certainly in my time. "Before joining I tried to watch as many games on tape as I could from the season so far and Danny Ings stood out as someone I was really looking forward to coaching." Ings enjoyed happier times with Southampton, scoring 46 goals in 100 appearances between 2018 and 2021. He then joined Aston Villa for a fee reported to be around £25million. He made 52 appearances for Villa and netted 14 times before moving to West Ham in January 2023. Ings has endured a difficult time in east London, not helped by his injury problems, and he's now seeking a new challenge. The Premier League club confirmed Ings' departure earlier this month, along with those of Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski and Vladimir Coufal. Head coach Graham Potter said: "Aaron, Lukasz, Vladimir and Danny have been a pleasure to work with in my time here so far.

Striker linked with Celtic in January to become free agent
The striker was linked with a move to Celtic late in the January transfer window. The Scottish Premiership champions were reportedly in the 'race' to sign Ings, along with Everton, Southampton and Leeds United. The 32-year-old eventually stayed put at West Ham United for the remainder of the current campaign. Read more: Now, it has been confirmed that he will be on the move this summer, with United confirming today that his contract will not be renewed for the 2025/26 season. A club statement read: "West Ham United can confirm that Aaron Cresswell, Łukasz Fabiański, Vladimír Coufal and Danny Ings will leave the Club when their contracts expire at the end of the 2024/25 season. "The four members of our 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League-winning squad all played their part in one of the most successful periods in West Ham United's history, and will depart having made a combined total of more than 800 first-team appearances between them." It remains to be seen where Celtic will look to strengthen in the summer transfer window. Brendan Rodgers outlined his desire to sign a number nine after Kyogo Furuhashi's exit in January, but the club failed to deliver. Jota will also miss the beginning of next season after he was ruled out for six to nine months with a knee injury sustained in his side's emphatic win over Dundee United just under a fortnight ago that secured the title.
