Wrexham chief sets the record straight on tom cairney and jamie vardy transfers

A SENIOR FIGURE AT WREXHAM HAS POURED COLD WATER ON RUMOURS LINKING THE HOLLYWOOD-OWNED CLUB WITH SENSATIONAL MOVES FOR PREMIER LEAGUE STARS TOM CAIRNEY AND JAMIE VARDY 16:48, 20 May

2025Updated 16:54, 20 May 2025 Wrexham director Humphrey Ker has set the record straight on the club's transfer business after being linked with several high-profile stars. The Red

Dragons, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are expected to spend big in the summer transfer window after securing promotion to the Championship last month. Fulham captain Tom

Cairney, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford are among the names the club is rumoured to be pursuing. Ker was quizzed specifically about the three players

while appearing on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X. However, the comedian and writer appeared to pour cold water on fans' hopes of seeing them join Wrexham. Ker emphatically answered

"no" when asked by Moyles if there was any truth in reports linking them to Vardy and Bamford. He then added: "Actually, I should stop doing this, because eventually you might

say someone where I have to be like, 'Yes.' I will say that one of the things is that – much like Ryan Reynolds – the name Wrexham generates clicks, so we are starting now to get

linked with absolutely everybody. "I'm like, 'Who?' I saw our fans getting absolutely incandescent on Twitter about it. 'What on Earth are they doing trying to sign

this guy?' when none of us have heard of him before." Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Moyles then read out a message from a Fulham fan called Daniel, requesting for Ker and Wrexham to steer

clear of Cairney. Ker replied: "Daniel, you got it," before adding: "I mean, he's a brilliant player, Tom Cairney, and I'm sure we'd be very grateful to have

him. Article continues below "But he is the very specific instance where our fans were like, 'I’m not sure about this, I don't know what they're doing. What does this

mean about our transfer thing?' Like, we haven't had that conversation yet." Ker later said: "I will also say I'm a bit of a Grinch about that, because actually one

most fun things about being a football fan is speculation about transfers. Why do I want to be out here crushing everyone else's good times?" Other names Wrexham have been linked

with include Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien and Swansea City defender Harry Darling. As far as outgoings are concerned, star striker Paul Mullin has been linked with a shock

move away from the Racecourse Ground following reported interest from Wigan Athletic. Watch the new season of Welcome to Wrexham on Disney+ This article contains affiliate links, we will
