Wrexham Target Ex-Manchester United Star in 'Hugely Impressive' Transfer Swoop
The representative of Christian Eriksen has revealed that newly-promoted Championship club Wrexham approached his client. While praising the ambitious Welsh team, the ex-Manchester United midfielder is anticipated to continue playing in one of Europe's premier leagues.
The 33-year-old midfielder has been without a club since late June following the expiration of his Old Trafford contract. Despite his publicized medical condition—Eriksen has competed with a pacemaker following his cardiac episode during Euro 2020—the Danish international boasts a remarkable fitness record.
Eriksen was selected for 56 out of United's 60 fixtures across all tournaments last campaign, featuring in 35 matches overall. The ex-Spurs playmaker may be entering the twilight of his career, yet he remains confident in his ability to perform at the highest level.
"Christian continues to desire participation in top-tier football and definitely wishes to remain in Western Europe," Eriksen's agent Martin Schoots informed the Daily Mail. "Several discussions are ongoing but the arrangement must benefit all parties."
Regarding the particular attention from the Championship newcomers, Schoots commented: "Wrexham are genuinely enhancing all aspects both on and off the pitch, and it represents a tremendously impressive venture, as evidenced by the involvement of individuals like [CEO] Michael Williamson."
The organization notably backed by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been active during this transfer window. Beyond the record-setting signing of Liberato Cacace from Empoli for €2.5 million (£2.2 million, $2.9 million), Wrexham have secured former Liverpool and Leicester City keeper Danny Ward along with Josh Windass on free deals.
George Thomason's transfer from Bolton Wanderers coupled with the signing of Plymouth Argyle star Ryan Hardie has pushed the club's summer spending beyond £4 million ($5.4 million), excluding the undisclosed amount for Lewis O'Brien, which may reach £5 million ($6.8 million) independently.
