Donedeal: Wrexham have signed star player from Brighton.
Many EFL teams are presently vying for Marc Leonard’s services, including the aspirational Red Dragons.
The North Wales team’s well-known ownership pair, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have contributed to their quick ascent to prominence on and off the field.
The Red Dragons made short work of the fourth division and achieved back-to-back promotions after making their League Two debut for the first time in fifteen years during the previous campaign. This marked their first trip to the third tier since their relegation in the 2004–05 campaign.
Many teams from the Premier League have moved to League One, where they are trying to rebuild their own routes back to the promised land. But during the upcoming years, Phil Parkinson’s team will make every effort to meet such goals for a team that has never made it to the top division.
Wrexham might make a big impression if they recruit Marc Leonard, a midfielder for Brighton.
This is due to the fact that since the team was promoted back to League One, word has spread about the club’s interest in Marc Leonard, a midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion.
Wrexham was among the teams interested in signing the 22-year-old Scottish engine room operator, as TEAMtalk reported in late May. The transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has since verified that Wrexham is in the lead group with Oxford United and Birmingham City.
Higher tier clubs’ interest in Leonard is not surprising, considering his form and development at both fourth and third division standards during a highly productive two-year loan at Northampton Town.
hance to release a statement in the event that they defeat fierce opposition.
“It’s an intriguing connection with Marc Leonard,” Liam said to FLW. “He’s a younger player who, should he come on loan or permanently, should be in the first team, or at least close to it.
“Obviously, Oxford and Birmingham, two rather large clubs, are in the battle with us.
Birmingham clearly has a lot of financial clout, so whatever offer they make will be challenging to match.
However, I believe that we have a chance to win the race with our financial support.
“I believe that he will view the Wrexham project and what we’re attempting to accomplish here more positively than negatively.
“I believe it may make a significant impact to demonstrate to the other teams in the league that we’re not just here to pad the stats. Not only do we want to succeed now, but also in the future, we do want to compete.”
Marc Leonard, a midfielder for Brighton, is a player that Wrexham must compete fiercely for.
