Wrexham have taken a bold step in the January transfer window after making contact to begin talks over a sensational £15 million-plus move for Welsh star Neco Williams, a deal that would shatter club records and send shockwaves across the Championship.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Phil Parkinson has identified the Nottingham Forest and Wales international as his priority signing this winter, viewing him as the final piece in Wrexham’s push for sustained success at Championship level. Williams, widely described by admirers as an “insane talent” due to his pace, versatility, and top-flight experience, is believed to be open to the project unfolding at the Racecourse Ground.
Parkinson is understood to be eager to add elite-level quality and leadership to his squad, and Williams fits that profile perfectly. The 23-year-old full-back has featured regularly in the Premier League and has been a standout performer for Wales on the international stage, offering energy going forward and defensive discipline—qualities Wrexham have targeted as they look to raise standards across the pitch.
While a £15m+ fee would represent a significant investment, Wrexham’s ownership has consistently shown ambition to back the manager when the right opportunity arises. Talks are said to be at an early stage, but the very fact that contact has been made underlines the club’s intent to compete aggressively in the market.
If completed, the signing of Neco Williams would be a landmark moment in Wrexham’s remarkable rise, reinforcing the belief that the club is no longer dreaming big—but acting big.
