Wrexham's Summer Spending Reaches $40 Million After Signing Ben Sheaf From Coventry

Wrexham have reached a £6.5 million agreement to acquire Coventry City’s captain, Ben Sheaf, who is expected to undergo a medical examination on Monday ahead of the closing of the transfer window.
Sheaf’s reduced playing time at Coventry, due to injuries and new signings like Matt Grimes, prompted the move despite his key role in their 2023/24 FA Cup run.
Wrexham, newly promoted to the Championship, aims to solidify its squad after three consecutive promotions supported by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
The signing pushes Wrexham’s summer transfer spending to about £30 million, ranking them 29th globally and ahead of Borussia Dortmund for net spend.
Manager Phil Parkinson acknowledged potential player departures but emphasized readiness to strengthen areas while preparing to work with the current squad if needed.
