Wrexham have been urged to move in January for Matheus Pereira as the Welsh club’s push up the table continues and talk grows about a possible run at the Championship play-off places.
The Brazil international, who has Premier League experience, has been put forward as a standout target for Phil Parkinson’s side, with the view that his quality could make an instant impact in the second half of the season.
Pereira has been described in glowing terms by former Wrexham striker Neil Roberts, who believes the midfielder would be a statement signing for the club if they can make a deal happen when the window opens.
“He’s a real baller,” Roberts said, as he backed Wrexham to consider a swoop for a player who has played at the top level and offers creativity in the final third.
Roberts’ comments come at a time when Wrexham’s momentum has kept them in the mix and raised expectations around what could be possible this season, with the club’s growth on and off the pitch continuing at pace.
The discussion around Pereira also comes with a clear message: if Wrexham want to keep climbing, adding proven quality and experience in key areas could be the difference between an encouraging campaign and a genuine promotion challenge.
With January approaching, the club’s recruitment plans will come into sharper focus, and Pereira’s name is now being talked about as a potential headline addition.
