Wrexham are interested in signing Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United this summer.

According to The Star, the forward is on the Red Dragons’ radar ahead of their Championship campaign.

Moore joined the Blades last summer, scoring five times from 27 appearances in the regular season, with the team coming third in the table.

Phil Parkinson is looking to build a team capable of survival in the second tier after leading Wrexham to automatic promotion from League One at the first attempt last year, and even though Ryan Hardie has already arrived at the club, as well as the expected addition of Josh Windass, Moore is also on their radar.

Wrexham AFC urged to chase Kieffer Moore deal despite striker depth

When asked about the prospect of signing Moore, FLW’s Wrexham fan pundit Liam Grice claimed he’d be happy to welcome the forward to the club.

He believes that the Wales international would be a level above their current options, and that he would be a brilliant addition to the side.

“If you’d have told me a couple of years ago that Wrexham were being linked with the kinds of players like Kieffer Moore, who scored goals in the Premier League, is a Wales international, I’d be amazed,” Grice told Football League World.

“So I think I’d be amiss if I didn’t say I’d welcome him signing for Wrexham.

“Obviously, I’ve seen what he’s done in the Premier League with Bournemouth, played for Sheffield United and with Cardiff in this division.

“He’s scored goals, he’s a consistent goal scorer, I’ve seen what he’s done for Wales as well obviously and he’s been immense for us on the international stage.

“He’s the kind of marquee signing up front that would really give us a massive boost.

“We’re linked with [Josh] Windass from Sheffield Wednesday, we’ve got Sam Smith, we’ve got Ryan Hardie, but Kieffer Moore is probably just that level above a player that you think ‘wow, he’s the centre of the team,’ and if we got him in it would be a brilliant signing.”

Wrexham move for Kieffer Moore could make sense for Phil Parkinson

Wrexham have Smith, Hardie, Jack Marriott, Jay Rodriguez, Mo Faal, Ollie Palmer and Jake Bickerstaff on the books at the moment, so they should be looking to offload players at the moment - particularly in attack.

But if they can shave the squad down, then bringing in Moore could make sense given his track record at this level.

While he is 32, and he only managed five goals in the league last season, making the switch to Wrexham could be what he needs at this stage of his career.

Sheffield United should be open to a sale after the appointment of Ruben Selles, as they have Tyrese Campbell and potentially Ryan Oné ahead of him in the pecking order at Bramall Lane.
