Report: Stoke City now ready to sell misfit striker in January transfer window after summer Wrexham interest

Wrexham are looking for attacking players in the January transfer window, and Phil Parkinson may be interested in one possible move.

Wrexham have had two disappointing games in a succession.

Wrexham failed to learn from their 2-2 home draw with Cambridge United, resulting in a repeat performance against Bristol Rovers.

Despite leading 1-0 late on, the hosts were able to salvage a point thanks to Promise Omochere’s late equaliser.

Phil Parkinson was upset with his Wrexham players for failing to finish the game as points were dropped again.

Wrexham-linked striker is available in January.

Parkinson will now prepare for a home double-header to end 2024, with Blackpool and Wigan Athletic arriving in the following days.

Wrexham will then search for new arrivals in the January transfer window, with the goal of boosting their promotion campaign.

According to reports, Wrexham are looking to add another striker in January to give Parkinson more firepower and possibly kill games in the future.

According to reporter Darren Witcoop, Stoke City striker Niall Ennis is poised to leave the Potters in January.

Witcoop indicated in August that Wrexham had made queries about signing Ennis before the summer transfer deadline.

Ennis has played only 94 minutes for Stoke this season, with seven substitute appearances in the Championship.

The 25-year-old has yet to start a league game this season, so it’s not surprising that Stoke appear eager to let him leave.

Witcoop does not name Wrexham this time, but does say that Barnsley is interested in signing the striker.

Ennis may no longer suit what Wrexham wants. Ennis differs from Wrexham’s current strikers in that he has good turn of pace behind defences.

The former Shrewsbury Town loanee has also scored 22 goals in 87 League One games for Plymouth Argyle.

Ennis was branded a’special talent’ by former Argyle manager Ryan Lowe, who lauded him in BBC Sport remarks.

However, reports detailing Wrexham’s pursuit of a striker indicated that the target was a proven Championship goalscorer.

Wrexham are looking for a striker who can come in and make an impression in League One, hopefully leading to promotion before shining in the Championship.

Ennis doesn’t quite fit the bill, having scored once in 21 Championship outings with Blackburn Rovers and Stoke.

Wrexham may have looked at Ennis in the summer, but we believe the standards have now risen, and he is unlikely to be a target in this transfer window.
