WHAT HAPPENED? With Mullin sidelined after suffering a punctured lung in pre-season against Manchester United, the Red Dragons are looking to add firepower to their side and have set their sights on the 26-year-old.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Tshimanga has spent most of his career thus far in and around non-league football, with Peterborough opting to bring in the forward on loan from Chesterfield for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign before making the move permanent earlier this summer.

AND WHAT'S MORE: According to TeamTalk, the EFL new boys have submitted a £500,000 bid for the forward. Wrexham lost their opening League Two game against MK Dons last weekend, going down 5-3 at the Racecourse Ground.
