Wrexham join Plymouth Argyle and Hull City in pursuit of Premier League midfielder

Wrexham have joined Plymouth Argyle, Preston North End and Hull City in pursuit of Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Marc Leonard, according to a report by TEAMtalk.

Wrexham are keen on landing the Premier League man this summer as they prepare for life in League One. They have been promoted from League Two along with Stockport County, Mansfield Town and Crawley Town after finishing 2nd in the table

Leonard, 22, has spent the past two years on loan at Northampton Town to get some experience under his belt. He has been a key player for the Cobblers under the guidance of Jon Brady but has now gone back to the AMEX Stadium.

In this latest update regarding his situation by TEAMtalk, Wrexham are ready to join clubs in the Championship in the race for his signature as they look to bolster their ranks. However, they will have to face competition from the likes of Plymouth Argyle, Preston and Hull City.

Wrexham could see Leonard as someone to inject some more quality into their midfield ranks as they prepare for life in the third tier.

He has a year left on his contract at Brighton and his chances of breaking into their first-team next season are slim due to the abundance of top quality options that they have at their disposal in his position.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him head out the exit door on a permanent basis in the upcoming transfer window.
