Wrexham have reportedly issued a bold transfer instruction aimed at hijacking a £13 million-rated Norwich City striker deal, following what insiders are calling a frustrating FA Cup “snub” that has intensified the club’s January ambitions.
The FA Cup exit has sparked renewed urgency behind the scenes at the Racecourse Ground, with head coach Phil Parkinson believed to be demanding immediate attacking reinforcements. Wrexham struggled to convert chances in the cup tie, and the defeat has been viewed internally as a clear signal that the squad needs added firepower to sustain its push up the divisions.
According to sources close to the club, Wrexham’s recruitment team has been instructed to explore an aggressive move for the highly-rated Norwich forward, whose valuation currently stands at around £13 million. While Norwich are reluctant sellers, Wrexham’s rising profile, financial backing, and promise of a central role in an ambitious project are thought to make the move increasingly realistic.
The timing of the instruction is key. With several Championship and Premier League clubs monitoring the striker’s situation, Wrexham are keen to act swiftly and disrupt rival plans. Club executives believe a decisive approach could persuade both Norwich and the player before competition intensifies later in the window.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney remain fully supportive of strengthening the squad, particularly after the disappointment of the FA Cup. Their long-term vision has always been tied to momentum and progression, and this potential hijack move underlines Wrexham’s intent to turn setbacks into statements.
If completed, the deal would rank among the most eye-catching signings in the club’s history—and send a clear message that Wrexham are not prepared to let one cup setback derail a much bigger dream.
