Wrexham are reportedly set to launch a bid to land Rangers-linked Conor Coady.

The big-spending Championship new boys appear to be going all out to achieve a fourth straight promotion and have already splashed out on signings including former Ibrox duo Ryan Hardie and Josh Windass, and left-back Liberato Cacace from Empoli.

They're being linked with further big moves and one of them could be Leicester defender Coady.

Manager Phil Parkinson, according to the Daily Mail, has been looking for a central defender all summer and now wants the 32-year-old to be become a new addition.

The England cap is said to be excited by the project at the Hollywood-backed club with owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney keen to be in the Premier League by 2027.

Rangers had an interest in the defender but the move appears to have stalled as the Ibrox side moved to prioritise attacking areas.

Wrexham also look set to smash their transfer record for a third time in this window with the £7.5 million signing of striker Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich.

[[Rangers]] have already completed the signings of central defenders Emmanuel Fernandez and Nasser Djiga as well as right-back Max Aarons as Russell Martin initially prioritised his backline.

But more recently the focus has been further forward with wingers on the agenda. Djeidi Gassama has been signed while Mikey Moore is close to joining on loan from Tottenham.
