Wrexham Make £7m Approach For Broadhead - Ipswich Town News

Newly promoted Wrexham are reported to have made a £7 million approach for Blues forward Nathan Broadhead.

 According to The Sun, the Blues haven’t actively been looking to sell the 27-year-old but aren’t ruling out allowing the Wales international to move on at the right price.

Rumours of Wrexham interest in Broadhead have been circulating all summer and TWTD understands there is something in the interest.

Last summer, Broadhead was close to returning to former loan club Sunderland on the same basis on deadline day but the Blues’ move to sign Reiss Nelson on loan from Arsenal broke down.

The Bangor-born attacker remained at Portman Road and was in and out of the side over the course of the Premier League season having been a key man in the back-to-back promotions following a £1.5 million move from Everton in January 2022.

Notably, the Broadhead has been left out of the squad for this evening’s game against Charlton Athletic at Colchester.

If the move goes through then Broadhead would become Wrexham’s biggest ever signing, beating the £5 million recently paid to Nottingham Forest for Lewis O’Brien.

The Red Dragons are also understood to be signing ex-Blues striker Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United for £4 million.
