Phil Parkinson, the manager of Wrexham, recently addressed the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding Sidiki Cherif. As the club is gearing up for the transfer deadline, Parkinson expressed that current squad dynamics are not necessitating immediate signings.
Squad Developments Ahead of Transfer Deadline
Wrexham has been strengthening its squad as players return from injuries. Key players such as Danny Ward, Andy Cannon, Lewis Brunt, and Aaron James are approaching full fitness. This influx of talent has shifted the focus away from urgent signings.
Transfer Strategy and Focus
While new signings are possible, Parkinson noted that player exits may be more likely. “To bring players in, we’ve got to move players out,” he stated. His focus remains on maximizing the potential of current squad members.
- Danny Ward – Returning from injury
- Andy Cannon – Close to regaining full fitness
- Lewis Brunt – Regaining form
- Aaron James – Approaching match readiness
Parkinson highlighted the contributions of Lewis O’Brien and Sam Smith, both of whom have shown promise since their recent returns. “We have many good options with players who can improve further this season,” he added.
Looking Ahead
The manager indicated that while the team is always on the lookout for potential additions, the urgency is tempered by their current roster’s capabilities. “If the right player became available at the right price, we would certainly consider a move, but it’s not an absolute necessity,” Parkinson concluded.
The transfer window will close at 19:00 GMT on Monday, February 2, and Wrexham remains vigilant but prefers to build on the existing squad.
