Nathan Broadhead scored 23 goals in 83 appearances for Ipswich Town Wrexham are close to signing Wales international Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town in a deal which could eventually be worth £10m. While the initial fee is likely to be some way short of that figure, Broadhead's arrival will shatter Wrexham's current transfer record. The versatile forward, 27, is in the final year of his contract at Portman Road. Wrexham have broken their transfer record on numerous occasions since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mc Elhenney took control of the club in 2021. The current high mark is believed to be in excess of £3m, which Wrexham paid to sign midfielder Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest last month. Former Everton youngster Broadhead will be Wrexham's ninth signing since they were promoted from League One last season.

Forwards Josh Windass and Ryan Hardie, defenders Conor Coady and Liberato Cacace and midfielders George Thomason and O'Brien have also moved to the north Wales side this summer. Bangor-born Broadhead - who was in Wrexham's academy as a boy - started his professional career with Everton but joined Ipswich permanently in 2023 following loan spells with Burton Albion, Sunderland and Wigan Athletic. He made two first-team appearances for the Toffees but swiftly became a prominent figure at Ipswich, helping them secure successive promotions from League One to the Premier League. Broadhead scored two goals in 18 top-flight appearances under Kieran Mc Kenna last season. He has netted twice in 14 senior outings for Wales, with his first goal coming on debut against Croatia in 2023. Wrexham have also been linked with moves for Liverpool's Wales international Lewis Koumas and Ajax's central midfielder Sivert Mannsverk, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Cardiff City.
