Wrexham told to snub Christian Eriksen for ex-England stars as phone call comes to light
Wrexham have been urged to target free agents Jamie Vardy or Callum Wilson to strengthen their Championship squad after making an approach for former Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen Wrexham have been told to prioritise the pursuit of two former England stars over Christian Eriksen. It was revealed last week that the Welsh side had made a sensational approach for the Danish midfielder following his departure from Manchester United. The 33-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving the Premier League giants in May. Eriksen's agent, Martin Schoots told the Daily Mail that Wrexham – owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – was a "hugely impressive project". However, the ex- Tottenham and Ajax player rejected the newly-promoted Championship outfit's advances. It came after Eriksen was said to have expressed his eagerness to remain at the top level for as long as possible. Former Blackburn striker Matt Jansen has now encouraged the Red Dragons to chase either Leicester legend Jamie Vardy or ex- Newcastle forward Callum Wilson instead. Jansen, who also had a short spell at Wrexham towards the end of his career, said the duo would be better options for his old club as manager Phil Parkinson looks to bolster his squad. Speaking to OLBG, he said: "I think all the way through the spine of the team, they need to strengthen. Then it's a case of having a good run. If they have that, with confidence and belief, it would push them to the top of the table. "I would say they have a good four or five players to get, top class players, proven goalscorers, to get to the top level of the Championship. "Most importantly for them is a goalscorer and you'd be looking at the likes of a Jamie Vardy or a Callum Wilson, free agents at the moment. I think they would both be a better signing than Eriksen." Parkinson has admitted this week that Wrexham did try and sign Eriksen early in the summer transfer window. But he said the talks did not extend further than an initial conversation. "There was a call, a bit of dialogue over the summer, but it's not gone any further than that," Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales on Monday. "But obviously he's a majorly talented player and very well respected throughout football." Wrexham have made six new signings so far this summer, including striker Ryan Hardie, goalkeeper Danny Ward, defender Liberato Cacace, midfielders George Thomason and Lewis O'Brien and forward Josh Windass. The club is preparing for its first season in the second tier in 43 years and Parkinson said he was aiming to make further additions before their opening game at Southampton on August 9. He added: "We've been linked with so many players and if we'd been speaking to every player we've been linked with, I don't think we'd have had an hour to sleep over the last month. Some are true, some aren't. "But we're just going about our business and trying to get a squad which can represent the club in this division this season."

It meant Mount - who started the Euro 2020 final against Italy - was not even in the equation when Gareth Southgate selected his squad for Germany in 2024. But new England boss Tuchel was a huge fan of Mount during their days at Chelsea, which included him playing the crucial pass as the Blues shocked Manchester City to win the Champions League in 2021. And while Mount, 26, accepts he has to secure a place in Manchester United's side to put himself back into World Cup contention, the online conversation with his former club boss has made him start believing.

Man Utd star Mason Mount reveals Thomas Tuchel phone call as he makes England vow
Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount is keen to work his way back into the England squad for the 2026 World Cup, with his former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel offering hope Mason Mount has revealed England boss Thomas Tuchel called him to offer the Manchester United star hope of a return for the Three Lions. Mount's last England appearance came at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, when Gareth Southgate's side went out to France at the quarter-final stage after losing 2-1. Injuries have wrecked Mount's first two seasons at United, following his £60million move from Chelsea, with the 26-year-old managing just 11 starts last term. Despite being away from the international scene for two and a half years, Mount said his former Chelsea boss Tuchel has left the door open for a return to the England fold – ahead of next year's World Cup in the US. 'He called me' said Mount. 'He called me and he said that he's calling a lot of players and just wanted to catch up. I don't know how many players he probably called, 40 or 50 maybe? 'But it was good to see his face, good to catch up with him and good to speak to him. He looked like he had loads of energy, like I remember, and was bang up for the new role. He was very excited and it was obviously good to catch up with him and speak to him and see what he was preparing. 'I played quite a bit under him. We won the Champions League, so that's a positive. But I think with England it's totally different now. I think the competition with places, the amount of people he can pick, it's a bit different than club football. So I don't think it goes hand in hand. 'He said to me there's no guarantees, even though you played for me. But it gives you more, you want to push even more, to be able to be back in the squad. So it was really good to speak to him. He looked very excited. 'As a player, you always want to play for your country and that's such a big honour, to play for your country. Any opportunity that you get to put that shirt on is amazing. I've had 36 caps for England, so I know what it means to be able to play for your country. I'd love to have that opportunity again, but I'm focusing on club football first. 'We need to put right what happened last season. So I'm looking at that first for sure and then we'll see what happens at the end of the season.' On his personal aims for the upcoming season, Mount said: 'I think it's about kicking on from where I was last season. Putting that behind me, the injuries and stuff, and looking forward to what I can do. Focusing on what I bring to the team and knowing what I can do.'
