Wrexham enters the race for Sidiki Cherif

Young Guinean forward Sidiki Cherif (18) is already drawing the attention of several English clubs, but Wrexham is ready to make a move, according to Football Insider.

The Angers player, who has had an outstanding Ligue 1 season with 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 matches, could join the Welsh club as early as January. To pull off the deal, Wrexham would need to break their transfer record, currently set at £10 million, as Cherif is valued at £17 million. The club will also have to contend with competition from Newcastle, Sunderland, and Fulham, all of whom are keen on the young prospect.

Despite the financial risk, Wrexham sees this move as an opportunity to strengthen their attack and signal their ambitions for the seasons ahead.
