Preparations for the League One campaign are underway with several new faces arriving at Wrexham.
The Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have already sanctioned moves for five new players.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo returned to the club in June, with Lewis Brunt, George Dobson, Callum Burton, and Sebastian Revan following him through the door at the Racecourse.
Phil Parkinson has reiterated throughout the summer transfer window that he aimed to bring strength in depth to his squad.
The former Sunderland manager has great experience with League One and will know the quality it takes to be competitive.
The North Wales club have most recently been linked with a move for an attacker after making enquires into Tottenham youngster Will Lankshear.
Despite being pleased with the new arrivals, Parkinson remains keen to add extra quality to the Wrexham ranks.
Phil Parkinson reveals talks with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney on Wrexham transfer plans
Ahead of Wrexham’s first pre-season game on their Wrex Coast Tour, Parkinson has been speaking about his current transfer plans and what he would like to happen in the coming weeks before the League One season kicks off.
The Hollywood owners have always looked to help support the manager in the transfer windows to give the club the best chance at being competitive.
The former Bradford City coach believes his squad have good quality, but further additions are needed before the opening day where Wrexham host Wycombe Wanderers at the Racecourse.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the Wrexham boss said: “At the moment, we have a lot of work to do in terms of our recruitment to make us competitive.
“Every season you have to start with the aim of being at the top. I liaise with the owners all the time about what I feel we need to be competitive. We are not quite there yet. The squad is good but we are going into a top league.”
Further Wrexham additions can only be a positive for Phil Parkinson
With Wrexham set to play their first League One campaign in 19 years, expectations of the current squad need to be realistic.
The club do have an impressive squad filled with EFL quality but the manager is insisting on further depth to the team.
It will be the biggest test for Wrexham yet, with the quality in League One expected to be much higher.
Clubs like Birmingham City and Rotherham United are expected to be pushing for automatic promotion, with Huddersfield Town and Bolton Wanders also expected to be impressive in the coming campaign.
With the summer signings of Okonkwo, Brunt, Dobson, Burton, and Revan, the club has added strong quality to compete for a place in the starting XI.
Several of the new arrivals have League One or Championship experience that will help the transition of the squad in the coming season.
Parkinson’s desire for further signing can only be a positive.
With a busy schedule in the coming campaign, a bigger squad will also help with rotation and solutions to any injuries that may occur.
If Wrexham wants to be competitive next season, further additions can only enhance their chances in League One.
