Club sources expect a more competitive division next season, and Phil Parkinson would only pursue loan signings that \u201cadd genuine quality to his first-team squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clubs must register a maximum senior squad of 25 players aged over 21, with eight homegrown players and two designated goalkeepers. Players under 21 do not need to be registered, but every loan signing must be registered regardless of age.<\/p>\n<p>Awoniyi: The 28-year-old centre forward had a reduced role at Nottingham Forest, scoring four goals and one assist in 481 Premier League minutes last season, including a brace in the victory over Chelsea. He offers an efficient goals-per-minute record, but with one year left on his contract Forest may favour permanent offers.<\/p>\n<p>Akpom: Now 30, Akpom joined Ipswich Town permanently last month but saw limited game time on loan from Ajax this season, scoring two goals in 31 appearances. With Ipswich promoted, significant Premier League opportunities appear unlikely and a Championship leading role could suit him.<\/p>\n<p>Lacey: The 19-year-old made four first-team appearances for Manchester United across all competitions. He remains a raw talent who would seek regular minutes on loan and would likely compete with Josh Windass and Nathan Broadhead for attacking midfield positions.<\/p>\n<p>Moore: Eighteen and the youngest player to appear for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Moore gained experience on loan at Rangers. A natural left winger, he would provide attacking depth and impact from the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong: The 19-year-old central midfielder impressed on loan at Preston North End before returning to Everton, where he made 13 Premier League appearances. There is known interest in Armstrong this summer and another loan is a logical option.<\/p>\n<p>Konak: The 20-year-old defensive midfielder is highly regarded at Brentford, has 14 senior appearances including 10 in the Premier League, and represented T\u00fcrkiye at U21 level. He stood out during 16 Championship appearances for Oxford United.<\/p>\n<p>Amass: A promising 19-year-old wingback, Amass impressed on loan at Sheffield Wednesday before Manchester United redirected his loan to Norwich City. He made one appearance for the Canaries before injury curtailed his season. He won Manchester United\u2019s Young Player of the Year award in 2024\u201325 and has seven senior appearances for the club.<\/p>\n<p>McFarlane: A 19-year-old product of New York City FC and one of the youngest MLS signees, McFarlane has been involved with England U19 and is highly regarded at Manchester City, though he lacks senior experience in English football.<\/p>\n<p>Valdimarsson: The 24-year-old Iceland international has 12 senior appearances for Brentford, including three in the Premier League. He was named in the matchday squad for every senior Brentford fixture last season but sits behind Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher in the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>V\u00edtek: A young goalkeeper who impressed on loan with Bristol City in the Championship, V\u00edtek earned praise for his shot-stopping and is considered to have a very bright future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wrexham explore Premier League loan options to strengthen squad for another Championship challenge..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14897,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1249],"tags":[1756],"class_list":["post-14898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-championship","tag-loan-targets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
