Eriksen\u2019s agent, Martin Schoots, confirmed the contact while expressing admiration for Wrexham\u2019s ambitious project. &#8220;Wrexham are really upgrading everything both on and off the field, and it is a hugely impressive project, as you can see from the presence of people like [CEO] Michael Williamson there,&#8221; Schoots told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>Eriksen featured in 56 of Manchester United\u2019s 60 matches last season across all competitions, with 35 appearances to his name. Despite being in the latter part of his career, he remains keen to compete at the highest level. Schoots stated, &#8220;Christian still wants to play in a first-tier competition and he absolutely wants to stay in Western Europe. There are some contacts going on but it has to suit both sides.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Welsh club, backed by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have actively enhanced their squad this summer. Their signings include Liberato Cacace from Empoli for a club-record fee of \u20ac2.5 million (\u00a32.2 million), as well as free transfers of former Liverpool and Leicester City goalkeeper Danny Ward and Josh Windass. This flurry of activity underlines Wrexham\u2019s intent to strengthen their position in the Championship and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wrexham have approached Christian Eriksen, signalling ambitious plans after promotion to the Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":592,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[256,182],"class_list":["post-589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-epl","tag-christian-eriksen","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589","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=589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":594,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions\/594"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
