Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney to sign USMNT star? Wrexham warned off transfer for ‘token’ American amid record-breaking run of success

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-rob-mcelhenney-kaitlin-olson-reacts-history-making-championship-red-dragons/blt339a0e3cacb0cd93" target="_blank">Hollywood co-owners in North Wales</a> have been piecing together the most ambitious of projects. They <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-much-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-spend-wrexham-budget-phil-parkinson-championship-transfer-plans/bltca491aef25d2667b" target="_blank">have invested heavily since completing a stunning takeover</a> in 2021, with recruitment records being broken on a regular basis.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Those funds have helped to deliver a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-magic-record-breaking-wrexham/bltdc9ee63d6235391e" target="_blank">historic run of three successive promotions</a>, with Wrexham now heading to the Championship.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

And this is why I’m going to say no. If the good people of Wrexham, who TV and understand marketing and understand how to promote things, didn’t see it fit to have - at any level - an American, I don’t think it’s necessary that they have an American now.”</p>

WHAT EX-USMNT STAR SAID

<p>Legendary former USMNT goalkeeper Kasey Keller added: “To me it’s not about the token American. To me it’s about finding the right player. If that right player happens to be American, fine, no problem. I’m not a fan of tokenism at all. I want to see Wrexham, clearly they have had success - there is no issue of thinking: ‘Hey, would this sell a copy more jerseys in California?’ I think they are doing it the right way.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Wrexham are expected to spend big again in the summer of 2025, after delivering <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-season-4-release-date-revealed-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-documentary-league-one-promotion/bltd1b5ef66b387e0b0" target="_blank">more drama for their award-winning documentary series</a>.
