Ryan Hardie became Wrexham\u2019s first summer signing<\/a>, before Josh Windass arrived at the ST\u014dK Cae Ras<\/a> on a free transfer.<\/p>\n Kieffer Moore joined Wrexham from Sheffield United<\/a> last week and really caught the eye as Wrexham\u2019s focal man up top against Southampton.<\/p>\n Moore picked up an injury<\/a> in that game, though, and we could see further incoming movement in Wrexham\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n Mo Faal joined Port Vale<\/a> on loan last week, and Ollie Palmer has been made available<\/a> after dropping down the pecking order in 2025.<\/p>\n Wrexham could go for another centre-forward, but appear to be focusing on signing a versatile attacker who can play in different roles.<\/p>\n Ipswich Town\u2019s Nathan Broadhead<\/a> fits that bill, having played out wide, as a number 10 and as a striker over the course of his career.<\/p>\n Wrexham were closing in on signing Broadhead<\/a> in July, but a \u00a37.5million deal has stalled while Ipswich sort out their own situation out wide.<\/p>\n Broadhead missed Ipswich\u2019s Carabao Cup defeat to Bromley on Tuesday night, leaving Wrexham fans hopeful of progress over a transfer.<\/p>\n However, Tractor Boys boss Kieran McKenna claims that Broadhead is actually ill right now, and wasn\u2019t well enough to feature on Tuesday.<\/p>\n \u201cNathan\u00a0reported sick this morning, which obviously isn\u2019t ideal on the day of the game,\u201d said McKenna while speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some fans may be a little dubious of this explanation; we have heard the \u2018illness\u2019 line so many times during transfer sagas, but McKenna claims Broadhead was simply unwell.<\/p>\n McKenna will hope to have Broadhead back in action against Southampton this weekend, but the Wrexham rumours just won\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n Wrexham left waiting on Nathan Broadhead deal<\/p>\n McKenna has admitted Wrexham\u2019s interest<\/a> in Broadhead, but the lack of progress on a deal may leave Wrexham fans frustrated.<\/p>\n The Wrexham Insider understands that Wrexham are still hoping to sign Broadhead<\/a>, but it all depends on Ipswich.<\/p>\n The Tractor Boys don\u2019t want to leave themselves short in attack, even after Chuba Akpom completed his move to Portman Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jaden Philogene has picked up an injury, and Omari Hutchinson is wanted in the Premier League, so Broadhead may yet have a future at Ipswich.<\/p>\n![\"Ipswich](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2192511299-1024x691.jpg\")
