theglobalsun – Wrexham has made its boldest move yet under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney by approaching free agent Christian Eriksen. The 33-year-old midfielder became available after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of the 2024-25 season. Wrexham hopes to add Eriksen’s vast experience as they prepare for their first season back in the English second tier after 44 years.

Eriksen, a Denmark international with 144 caps, has had a distinguished career. He began at Ajax, spent seven seasons at Tottenham Hotspur, and also played for Inter Milan and Brentford. Last season, he made 35 appearances for Manchester United, scoring five goals. He has won both an FA Cup and a League Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
The club’s agent, Martin Schoots, described Wrexham as a “hugely impressive project.” However, he added that Eriksen wants to continue playing in a top-tier league and prefers to stay in Western Europe. This presents a challenge for Wrexham, who will compete in the Championship, the second tier of English football.
Since earning promotion under manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham have bolstered their squad significantly. They have already signed goalkeeper Danny Ward, striker Ryan Hardie, central midfielders Lewis O’Brien and George Thomason, left-back Liberato Cacace, and attacking midfielder Josh Windass. Signing Eriksen would be the most significant addition to their squad and a major coup for the club if Parkinson can persuade him to drop to the Championship level.
Wrexham’s Future and Eriksen’s Role in the Club
Wrexham’s return to the second tier marks a historic moment, their first season at this level since 1981-82. The club aims to build on three consecutive promotions and establish themselves firmly in the Championship. Adding a player of Eriksen’s caliber would send a strong message about their ambitions.
The club’s season will begin with a tough away match against newly relegated Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on August 9, 2025. Eriksen’s leadership and midfield creativity could play a crucial role in Wrexham’s campaign.
Despite Eriksen’s preference for top-tier football, Wrexham’s project under its Hollywood ownership is gaining attention. The club has grown rapidly, attracting both fans and media interest. This approach to recruiting experienced players highlights their desire to compete at higher levels and challenge established teams.

As Wrexham prepares for their new campaign, all eyes will be on how their squad develops and whether they can maintain momentum after their recent successes. The possible arrival of Eriksen adds excitement and hope for fans eager to see the club flourish in the Championship.
