WREXHAM FC are waiting to hear if they have been successful with their bid for an unnamed striker.
Manager Dean Saunders is anxious to address his side’s goalscoring problem when the transfer window reopens in January after seeing Wrexham score just 21 goals in 22 league matches this season.
Saunders has shown an interest in Forest Green Rovers striker Andrew Mangan, who has completed a five month ban imposed by the Football Association in July for breaching betting rules, but also has other potential targets.
Chairman Geoff Moss would not reveal the identity of the striker and is waiting to see if the bid – less than six figures – has been accepted ahead of the transfer window reopening.
“We have made a bid for a striker, I just don’t know if it will come off,” said Moss. “Dean has been looking around and we have put an offer in to a club.
“I can’t say how much it is, it is not six figures but we are prepared to finance Dean to bring in a striker.
“We are just waiting to see if it has been accepted. The player knows about it, we are just waiting for the club to come to a decision.
“But there may well be other clubs in for him too.
“It is a waiting game now for him or others. We have got to have plan A, B and C. If this does not come off, we will move on to the next target.”
Wrexham face Altrincham on New Year’s Day before making the trip to AFC Wimbledon on January 5.
Due to their FA Trophy exit, Wrexham then have a free weekend before Stevenage Borough arrive at The Racecourse on January 16, and Moss hopes a striker arrives before the visit of the highfliers.
