'Wrexham are Inter Miami of Europe – they can get Premier League players in League One'

Wrexham have been labelled as the Inter Miami of Europe by a football finance expert - who claims they will have the pulling power to attract Prem players to League One

Wrexham's Hollywood fairytale has continued with the Red Dragons bulldozing their way into League One.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watched on from afar as Wrexham started their party early with an emphatic 6-0 drubbing of Forest Green Rovers. And football finance expert Dr Rob Wilson reckons they can kick on again next season.

"Wrexham have a very similar story to Inter Miami," he said when speaking to BonusCodeBets. "It’s different in terms of league and style of player but the story ostensibly is the same and because they're creating a narrative.

Wrexham are currently second in the table, four points behind Stockport County, who also have a game in hand. Phil Parkinson's side could still get their hands on the title, but it would take an almighty collapse from the league leaders.

However, the Red Dragons might already have one eye on next season and the summer – with Elliot Lee joking Ryan and Rob should get their jet fired up for Vegas.
