  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Wrexham are being linked with a number of players that boast top-flight experience, including Jamie Vardy, Tom Cairney, Patrick Bamford and Lewis O’Brien. There is supposedly little substance to that speculation.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The Welsh outfit are, however, being urged to consider a move for 33-year-old frontman Wilson, as the nine-cap England international will become a free agent when reaching the end of his contract at Newcastle this summer.

  WHAT DIETMAR HAMANN SAID

  Former Magpies midfielder Dietmar Hamann has told : “Callum Wilson would absolutely be a great signing for Wrexham. Newcastle will probably improve their squad for next season and it will be even harder to get game time.

  “For Wrexham, if they want to get promoted into the Premier League they will probably need to have a Premier League level squad given the quality of the teams at the top of the Championship.

  “So they will be looking at Premier League players and we’ve seen teams do back to back promotions from League One to the Premier League in recent years, Wrexham could be a similar story.

  “A player like Callum Wilson with that experience, he will be able to keep the level up in the Championship and teach the young lads, I could see that signing being a success.”
