Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney tipped to make ‘biggest signing in Wrexham's history’

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney tipped to make ‘biggest signing in Wrexham's history’

It's rumoured that the famous pair might have their eyes on one player in particular

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney haven't seemed concerned about ruffling feathers in the football world since they copped a UK club, so it's hardly surprising that they might be window shopping for some of the most popular players.

The Wrexham FC co-owners have been hitting the headlines ever since they bought the club in November 2020, whether it's been splashing serious cash to make their takeover worthwhile or partying in Vegas with the lads.

Brits have been bowled over by their generosity too, seen as though the famous duo have made admirable moves such as saving a local business from closing after thieves robbed it's stock.

All in all, it's been quite the fun rollercoaster ride watching Reynolds and McElhenney make a name for themselves on the football circuit.

It seems they have made quite the impression on some big names too, as legends on the pitch such as Rio Ferdinand reckon that the actors are ready to make a big swing.

The former England ace, 45, predicts that Reynolds and McElhenney are planning on poaching a player, which he reckons could be the 'biggest signing' in Wrexham's history.

As the team have secured a steady stream of promotions leading them to League One under the guide of the Hollywood stars, it seems that fans have every faith that the only way these two are taking them, is up.

The Deadpool star, 47, and the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia funnyman, also 47, are rumoured to be eyeing up a string of players to join their club to strengthen their squad.

One name in particular seems to keep cropping up in reports, seen as though he has managed to drag Leicester City back to the Premier League without breaking a sweat.

That's right, it's.......Jamie Vardy.

Come on, I had to get a Wagatha Christie joke in somewhere, didn't I?

Anyway, as the striker's contract with his club is coming to an end this summer, it is rumoured that Reynolds and McElhenney might pounce if he can't hammer out a new deal with Leicester City.

And according to Ferdinand, the only place it makes sense for the 37-year-old to go is Wrexham.

During the latest episode of his FIVE podcast, the dad-of-four explained that he reckons Vardy, Reynolds and McElhenney would be a match made in heaven.

Ferdinand said: "The only club I’d like him [Vardy] to go to now, if he’s going to leave, would be Wrexham.

"Because it’s got a bit of a Hollywood feel, and he’s had a Hollywood career I think."

As the first non-league player to be signed for a whopping £1million who's gone on to become a key cog in the works at Leicester City, Vardy's rise has been something you would see in a blockbuster.

Obviously, it remains to be seen - but Wrexham fans might want to gear up for a historical signing later this year.
