Wrexham are looking to land Ben Davies from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
The Wrexham Insider understands that Wrexham have spoken to Ben Davies about a potential transfer.
The defender was expected to be a free agent at the end of this month, but Tottenham Hotspur extended Davies’ contract recently, meaning he still has another year to run.
Wrexham could pay over £5m for the Spurs star, with the combination of high wages and a transfer fee quickly adding up.
It remains to be seen if the Red Dragons are willing to get that deal over the line, but there is another player in north London that Phil Parkinson should be eyeing, especially after his recent admission.
What Phil Parkinson said about Wrexham loaning Premier League players
Speaking at the back end of May, Parkinson admitted to contacting Premier League clubs regarding loan moves.
He stated: “The loan market is something we are looking at. It’s all about touching base with the Premier League loan managers, making sure we have an understanding of who could become available.
“A lot of those players (whose loan spells for 2024-25 have now ended) will probably go back and start pre-season with their clubs because managers like numbers around them for pre-season games. We can probably attract a better calibre of player than we’d have been able to do in the past.”

We have since revealed that Wrexham could sign Bournemouth’s Daniel Jebbison on loan, though a number of teams are looking at the striker.
But there is another number nine who the Dragons have already eyed that would be the perfect signing this summer.
Wrexham loaning Will Lankshear from Tottenham makes sense
Before landing Modou Faal, Wrexham wanted to sign Will Lankshear from Tottenham on a temporary basis last summer.
A move did not come to pass, and the striker spent the first half of 2024/25 in the capital, scoring his first goal for the Lilywhites in the Europa League.
Lankshear was then loaned to West Brom in the second half of the campaign and has returned to Spurs this summer, where he is likely third-choice behind Dominic Solanke and Dane Scarlett.
One of Scarlett or Lankshear moving out on loan this summer would make sense, especially if Tottenham sign a new centre-forward in the coming months.
And with Wrexham already having an interest in the player and Parkinson confirming he’s been asking about loaning Premier League players, the Dragons going back in for the 20-year-old would make a lot of sense.
