Wrexham are looking to strengthen their squad in the 2024 January transfer window.
The Red Dragons are firmly in the promotion picture after four months of the campaign and now want to strengthen in January to ensure they have a real shot at finishing in the top two.
The main position set to be targeted by the Welsh outfit in the upcoming winter window is centre-forward.
Reports emerged last month that Wrexham want to sign a striker in January and are eyeing an option who has Championship experience.
Given the profile of their owners, it is not surprising that the club have a plethora of options to choose from.
We revealed recently that Wrexham have been offered at least 12 strikers as we near the January transfer window.
But a recent update regarding Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds means their club could now land a serious talent.

MORE WREXHAM STORIES
And after an exclusive update we revealed last week, the door is now open for the Red Dragons to sign an Arsenal gem.
TWI reported that McElhenney and Reynolds are eyeing new Wrexham relationships, which will allow them to sign Premier League players on loan.
The Hollywood duo should use these new-found relationships to strike a loan deal for Arsenal wonderkid Khayon Edwards, who has been called the next Bukayo Saka as per the Sun.
We understand that Wrexham would prefer to loan a striker in January and Edwards would be a perfect option for them.

Everything Wrexham fans should know about Khayon Edwards
Edwards is a Hale-End academy graduate, debuting for their U18 side back in 2020.
The centre-forward scored an impressive 21 goals and provided eight assists in 37 outings at U18 level.
Edwards has since moved up to U23 level and the goals are continuing to flow, scoring 17 and assisting two in 35 Premier League 2 appearances.
However, the 21-year-old is still yet to be handed a chance at first-team level by Mikel Arteta, who has only selected him for one matchday squad in the Europa League back in 2022/23.
In turn, given his age and clear ability, a loan move in January to garner some much-needed senior experience does make sense.
And with Wrexham eyeing a striker next month, the Racecourse seems like a perfect place for him.
The Gunners and the Red Dragons already have a pre-existing relationship with Arthur Okonkwo spending 2023/24 on loan in Wales and the latter can now reignite that to land Edwards.
