Wrexham are once again on the hunt for a new striker in the January transfer window.
Paul Mullin’s goal return has fallen off a cliff in 2024/25, while Ollie Palmer’s only found the back of the net three times in League One.
This sees Wrexham lagging behind their promotion rivals when it comes to goals scored this season.
Phil Parkinson and co. look set to address that issue in the January transfer window, with attacking reinforcements expected to arrive.
Joe Gelhardt and Patrick Bamford were linked to Wrexham in December but there’s been little movement on that front over the last week or so.
More recently, reports claim Plymouth Argyle forward Ryan Hardie is of interest to the Welsh outfit.
Now, Wrexham’s chances of signing a player they wanted over the summer have been rated by an expert.
Wrexham chances of signing Will Lankshear from Tottenham in January
Wrexham wanted to sign Will Lankshear from Tottenham Hotspur over the summer but Spurs decided to keep him in North London.

However, the teenage forward has seen his game time very limited in the first half of 2024/25.
With Wrexham eyeing a centre-forward once more, returning for Lankshear does make sense.
But football.london’s Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold has reported that an exit in the winter may be difficult because of Spurs’ injury problems.
He wrote: “football.london understands there has been a lot of interest in Lankshear, with some clubs looking to sign him permanently and many on loan, but Tottenham’s injury problems make it difficult right now to let him go.
“Verdict: Sticking around unless Spurs sign a striker late in the window which might open the door ever so slightly for him,” he added.

So, while a deal is unlikely to happen soon, there remains a chance Wrexham could be allowed to go back in for Lankshear at the back end of January.
His experience at senior level is limited but the Englishman’s goal return for Spurs at both youth and senior level is superb.
Lankshear is not the only young Premier League talent to have been looked at by Wrexham either, with Manchester United’s Ethan Wheatley of interest as well.
Wheatley has scored 24 goals and provided three assists in 45 appearances across various levels for Man Utd.
