Forget Tom Bradshaw, the Championship’s unwanted man is the perfect striker transfer for Wrexham

Wrexham are now in the market for a new striker as we head into the January transfer window.

The Red Dragons look set to spend money over the winter as they aim to end a worrying slump in form and get their promotion back on track.

Wrexham lost to Stockport County at the weekend and bowed out of the EFL Trophy earlier in the week.

One of the main problems facing Phil Parkinson at the moment is the lack of goals from his strikers.

THE Wrexham manager has been advised to sell Paul Mullin amid his poor form following the club’s long-awaited return to League One.

Mullin has scored just one league goal in 13 appearances this season and with Jack Marriott injured until the start of 2025, the Welsh side have decided to look elsewhere in order to solve their attacking problems.

Wrexham ready to sign striker in January and are looking to recruit a striker who has championship experience.

Wrexham linked with Millwall striker Tom Bradshaw

A new striker was also a target for the club this summer, with Wrexham linked with Tom Bradshaw in July.

However, the 32-year-old picked up an injury which ended any potential exit from the Den in the last transfer window.

But with the centre-forward now back in action, Millwall could be tempted to cash in on Bradshaw at the start of 2025.

The Welshman certainly has championship experience, with 268 appearances in the competition for different clubs.

But his goal return of 58 in said matches and his age mean there are probably better options for Wrexham at the moment.

Josh Coburn is a perfect signing for Wrexham

One such option is Bradshaw’s current Millwall teammate, Middlesbrough striker Josh Coburn.

Coburn has been on Boro’s books for several years, but fell out of favor after Michael Carrick became manager.

The 21-year-old is a powerful, strong, old-fashioned number nine with a keen eye for goal.

However, he does not fit what Carrick expects from his centre-forwards, which is why he was allowed to join Millwall on loan.

The Englishman missed part of the season through injury but returned before the November international break where he scored in a 1-1 draw against Stoke City.

Coburn is a proven goalscorer and given his age he would be a much better signing than Bradshaw.

Middlesbrough have the option to recall Coburn in January and will likely be willing to activate said clause if Wrexham offer a decent transfer fee for the unwanted striker.
