Wrexham could yet land a triple raid on newly-promoted Leeds United who look set for a bit of a clearout in the summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both Leeds United and Wrexham<\/a> have been promoted this season. Leeds will be playing in the Premier League next season and Wrexham in the Championship after a third-straight promotion under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the Dragons have an interest in some players at Elland Road. Wrexham are keen to sign Patrick Bamford<\/a> again this summer, as they were in the January transfer window, and it\u2019s reported that Bamford will leave Leeds United<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

Joe Gelhardt could also follow him out the exit door in West Yorkshire. Wrexham have been linked with Gelhardt<\/a> throughout the season, like Bamford, and they could make their move in the summer transfer window which opens in June.<\/p>\n

But these two aren\u2019t the only ones who could massively bolster the Wrexham side in January.<\/p>\n

Along with Gelhardt and Bamford, Leeds look set to sell Greenwood. It\u2019s widely reported that Greenwood is up for sale at Elland Road this summer following his loan spell with Preston in 2024\/25 where he scored five and assisted three more in 38 Championship outings.<\/p>\n

A no.10, the former Arsenal academy man is out of contract in 2026. He\u2019s never really been in the mix for the first-team at Leeds United under Daniel Farke but he\u2019s someone who boasts decent Championship experience having spent the 2023\/24 season on loan at Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

There, he recorded almost exactly the same stats as he did at Preston scoring the same amount of goals and getting the same amount of assists but in 37 league games instead.<\/p>\n\nStat (Champ.)<\/strong><\/td>\nSam Greenwood career so far<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGames<\/td>\n76<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Three reasons why Sam Greenwood would be a great signing for WrexhamSam Greenwood signing would be cheap and cheerful<\/p>\n

Very much considered to be deadwood at Leeds, Greenwood wouldn\u2019t break the bank. No price tag has been mentioned but it surely wouldn\u2019t be much higher than the \u00a31million mark given his experience, and as per Salary Sport<\/a> he earns \u00a39,000-a-week making him affordable in that sense too.<\/p>\n

Sam Greenwood would add much-needed youth to the side<\/p>\n

Greenwood has been around the block but he remains only 23 years old. He\u2019d bring vital Championship experience to the Wrexham side but also some important youthfulness too. Parkinson\u2019s squad is very ageing and it could soon catch up with them.<\/p>\n

Jay Rodriguez has struggled in the no.10 spot for Wrexham<\/p>\n

If Parkinson plays the same formation next season then he\u2019ll need to maximise that all-important no.10 spot. Jay Rodriguez<\/a> held that spot in the second half of the season but Wrexham fans were unimpressed with Rodriguez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Greenwood arriving would give Parkinson some great depth and competition in that spot.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wrexham could yet land a triple raid on newly-promoted Leeds United who look set for a bit of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,14148,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-99884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-sam-greenwood","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114504361808237539","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
