DEAN KEATES will obviously have his list of transfers lined up for the January sales but who would you want to see pull on that famous red shirt?

Wrexham will have money to spend if the much talked-about takeover finally gets signed, sealed and delivered in the next few weeks.

How much cash Hollywood A-listers Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds want to splash out remains to be seen and the fact that Wrexham will have mega-bucks owners might lead to clubs upping their values of all the Reds transfer targets.

So here’s my mix of players that could help finally turn the fortunes of Wrexham Football Club around.

Everyone wants a goalscorer and there’s one on the market with a proven track record - former Wales international striker Ched Evans.

He’s surplus to requirements at Fleetwood and although he’s 32, the Rhyl-born goal-getter, who kicked off his young career down the road at The Deva, he would be a big hit up front.

Wrexham fans might scoff at similarities between Evans and the club’s last signing from Fleetwood, Bobby Grant.

But if it had not been for Grant’s goals last season, Wrexham may have been knocking about as a part-time outfit in National League North.

Now you need someone to set Evans up, a player with a wand of a right or left foot in the Darren Ferguson play-maker mode.

He may be 36 but David Jones has had a great career since his early days in the Wrexham and District Youth League with Marford and Gresford.

An apprenticeship at Manchester United is one of the best places to learn and Jones has been a big hit at Blackburn, Burnley, Derby and Wolves where he scored that amazing free kick against Stoke in the Premier League in 2010.

Jones used to watch Wrexham as a teenager and although he’s training with Football League new boys Barrow, he’d jump at the chance to return home to play for the team he supported as a boy.

Keeping it local, it’s worth looking at what’s on offer in the Cymru Premier League.

Ryan Harrington - now learning his skills under Steve Evans at The New Saints - also kicked off his early playing days in the Wrexham mini-leagues. He can play in a number of positions and has the kind of versatility Wrexham’s current longest serving player, Mark Carrington, has shown over the years.

But the player in Welsh football’s top flight who impresses in every game you see him is Connah’s Quay Nomads’ attacking left wing-back Danny Davies.

He’s only 24, like you-know-what off a shovel and he’s already scored three and set up four goals this season for the Welsh champions.

In Andy Morrison he’s got a great mentor, although he could have ended up playing another professional sport having been on the books of County Cricket Championship side, Northamptonshire.

Now for someone who’s been there before. Seen it, done it and got the T-shirt to prove it.

Jack Muldoon not only won the National League title with Lincoln City in 2015, he was a play-off winner with Harrogate Town last season as the Yorkshire side made it into the Football League.

Muldoon is no relation to another ex-Red called Muldoon, who famously set up Barry Horne’s sensational volley as the Reds beat Porto in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1984.

He’s 31 but his experience of knowing what it takes to get out of this league would prove invaluable.

He also talks a good game and speaks very highly of the Cowley brothers - Danny and Nicky - a management double act many Reds fans would like to see in charge at The Racecourse.

In an interview with World Football Index six months ago, Muldoon, who has nine goals and four assists in League Two this season, said: “Here at Harrogate Town they do not accept a bad attitude. If they sense it in the group then that is soon filtered out and the player would soon find themselves out of the first team and starting lineup.”

On his move to Lincoln where The Imps also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2017, he added: “At the time, under then manager, Chris Moyses, we were getting a home attendance of around 1,300 fans.

“Lincoln City is a massive club. I scored 10 goals and played every minute of every game that season. Then the manager moved on and then the Cowleys came and they just changed the whole identity of the city really.

“They got everyone buying into what they were doing and all of a sudden at Sincil Bank we had a home attendance of 9,000 to 10,000 fans every home game.

“Many managers have got the best out of me during my career in that sense, but the ones that stand out are the Cowleys.”

All these moves would be dependent on the players buying into the American Revolution at The Racecourse and signing up for what could be one helluva ride.

But this one is all about the pulling power and powers of persuasion Deadpool Reynolds possesses.

Wrexham have only had one Canadian international play for them - goalkeeper Don Ferguson in 1986 - but it would be nice for Reynolds to have a fellow countryman alongside him.

You can’t see Alphonso Davies saying goodbye to Bayern Munich and hello Hightown but there’s a star striker playing for Vancouver Whitecaps - the team Reynolds supports.

He may cost a a fistful of dollars but Lucas Cavanilli would answer Wrexham’s 20-goals-a-season prayers.

Ryan, it’s over to you!
