Wrexham ‘Front-Runners’ to Sign Bailey Cadamarteri

Wrexham have reportedly moved to the front of the queue in the race for Sheffield Wednesday youngster Bailey Cadamarteri, according to reports – with the Dragons needing new recruits to strengthen their League One promotion bid.

Wrexham came second in League One last season with 88 points, just four behind eventual winners Stockport County and an incredible 10 ahead of fourth-placed MK Dons, securing a second promotion in as many years to continue the rapid rise under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ tenure – but with a general lack of recruits so far this summer, Cadamarteri could be a huge coup, with reports suggesting they are at the front of the queue.

The report from Darren Witcoop suggests that Wrexham have emerged as the front-runners to sign Cadamarteri, who is ‘in-demand’ by other clubs. A report by Sheffield Wednesday reporter Joe Crann in midweek suggested that Wrexham were being rivalled by fellow League One outfits Huddersfield Town, Stockport County and Blackpool in the race for the Owls youngster, but they have taken the lead and could see a deal done in the coming weeks.

The Welsh outfit already have Ollie Palmer, Paul Mullin, Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher as their forward options, but a younger alternative who can play across the front three could be sought-after and with four goals in the Championship last season, there is evident talent in the youngster’s locker that he could go on to massively increase with a full season in League One.
