Wrexham AFC are reportedly stepping up efforts to secure the signature of former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard, as talks progress over a bold two-and-a-half-year contract. Sources close to the negotiations suggest the National League high-flyers are eager to add proven Premier League quality to their squad, with paperwork now being discussed behind the scenes.
Lingard, who rose to prominence at Manchester United and later impressed during a loan spell at West Ham, remains a high-profile free agent. Wrexham believe his experience, creativity, and leadership could be transformative as the club continues its rapid ascent under ambitious ownership.
The proposed deal would signal Wrexham’s intent to compete at a higher level, both on and off the pitch. Club insiders say Lingard’s commercial appeal and winning mentality are seen as perfect fits for a project that blends footballing ambition with global exposure.
While final terms are yet to be agreed, optimism is growing that an agreement can be reached soon. If completed, the move would rank among the most eye-catching signings in Wrexham’s modern history—one that could energize the fanbase and send a clear message to rivals: Wrexham mean business.
