Manchester City youngster Callum Doyle is expected to become the Red Dragons’ tenth summer signin,

‘The 21-year-old defender came through City’s academy but has made only two senior appearances for the club.

Doyle has shone on loan, though, helping Sun-derland to promotion from League One in 2022 and reaching the Championship playoff final with Coventry the next season.

The England Under-21 international later joined Leicester, where he again assisted his team in gaining automatic promotion, this time to the Premier League and spent last term with Norwich.

Doyle revealed earlier this summer that he was ready to move on from City permanently.

Wrexham now appear close to winning the race to secure his services after fighting off interest from Scottish giants Rangers and Championship rivals Sheffield United.

That Doyle should choose the Red Dragons over the Gers is perhaps surprising after he previously revealed a childhood dream of playing against Celtic.
