Leicester City star being chased by Wrexham in ambitious summer move
According to SportsBoom, the Wrexham are currently leading the race to sign Leicester City midfielder Harry Winks ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Wrexham haven’t been shy about splashing the cash during their meteoric rise up the English football pyramid, and as they evaluate their options for next season, the former Tottenham playmaker has reportedly shot right to the top of their wishlist.
To understand why Winks is suddenly on the market, you have to look at the absolute nightmare unfolding over at Leicester City.
The Foxes are enduring a calamitous campaign that could shockingly see them relegated to League One amidst some serious financial struggles.
Harry Winks is struggling at Leicester City
Winks, who joined Leicester in a high-profile £10 million move from Spurs back in 2023, has found himself completely frozen out of the first-team picture in recent months.
Winks is reportedly sitting on a jaw-dropping £90,000-a-week contract, making him the highest earner in the entire Championship.
For a club staring down the barrel of back-to-back relegations and desperate to slash their wage bill, offloading Winks isn’t just a tactical choice, it’s an absolute financial necessity.
So, where does Wrexham fit into all of this? Phil Parkinson’s side has been chasing an unprecedented fourth straight promotion, but they’ve recently hit a speed bump, slipping slightly off the Championship play-off pace.
Wrexham are looking to strengthen the squad
While the dream of reaching the Premier League isn’t completely dead just yet, the club’s hierarchy is smartly drawing up contingency plans.
If Wrexham end up staying in the Championship for another year, they clearly view Winks as the ultimate marquee signing to boss the center of the park.
Despite his recent lack of minutes at Leicester, the midfielder still has undeniable top-flight quality and international pedigree.
Plus, with Leicester desperate to recoup some of their original £10 million investment and get his massive salary off the books, Wrexham is one of the few clubs with the ambition and financial muscle to realistically pull off a deal of this magnitude.
