Wrexham AFC are reportedly exploring a sensational January move for former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker **Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez** as manager **Phil Parkinson** looks to bolster his attacking options amid an ongoing striker shortage.
The Red Dragons have struggled for consistency up front this season, with injuries and form dips leaving Parkinson short of firepower. Following Paul Mullin’s loan spell and fitness concerns, Wrexham are believed to be seeking an experienced finisher who can lead the line and inspire a strong push in the Championship campaign.
Hernandez, 37, is currently a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy, and his wealth of top-flight experience could make him an ideal short-term signing. Known for his sharp movement and lethal instinct in front of goal, the Mexican forward scored over 160 goals across Europe, featuring for giants such as **Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, and West Ham United**.
While the deal is still in its speculative stages, sources close to the club suggest that Wrexham’s ambitious ownership—led by **Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney**—isn’t ruling out a high-profile move if it aligns with their promotion goals.
Fans have already taken to social media, expressing excitement at the prospect of “Chicharito” bringing his star power to the Racecourse Ground. If Wrexham manage to pull this off, it could become one of the most talked-about signings of the January transfer window and a defining moment in their rise through the English football ranks.
