They returned to The Football League in 2023 after winning the fifth tier.

And last season they claimed the second automatic place behind Stockport to clinch back-to-back promotions.

Now they are flying high in League One, sitting in third place and just two points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

According to The Mail, a young right-sided attacker is training with Wrexham’s squad – Yassine Toure.

The 18-year-old, who has played for Celtic and Leicester‘s academy sides, is yet to feature for the first-team but is hopeful of securing a contract at Wrexham.

Along with his talent, he also boasts the pedigree of being the son of ex-Arsenal defender Kolo Toure.

Toure Sr, 43, was a part of the Gunners’ Invincibles side from the 2003/04 Premier League campaign.

He also won two FA Cups and reached the Champions League final under Arsene Wenger.

The centre-back went on to join Manchester City in 2009 – where he won a second Premier League title and is now a coach.

Toure Sr, who also played for Liverpool, earned 120 caps for Ivory Coast, but his son is still waiting on a first senior call-up.

Yassine was in the Celtic academy but made the switch to Leicester with dad Kolo and manager Brendan Rodgers.

When Kolo left Leicester for Wigan, the Ivory Coast youth international stayed put at the King Power Stadium after signing a two-year scholarship contract.

Now he has departed the Premier League side and could finally get his chance in Wrexham’s senior team.
