According to the podcast, who concede that Eriksen is likely to remain a dream: “Apparently, yeah, apparently, Parky is interested in signing Christian Eriksen. Now again, sort of the pre-fit for what we have is of a certain age, of a certain experience. And he is of a certain age, and he comes with bags of experience.
“So, we’re in a weird position where it’s almost impossible to chuck any of these ideas out and dismiss them as complete lunacy because it’s Wrexham, isn’t it? Anything is possible. I don’t see it because I think there’s only so many players you can afford where the wages are going to be obscene.”
