Wrexham’s executive director has refused to rule out making a stunning swoop for Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy.
The ambitious Hollywood-backed club will look to strengthen their team again this summer following back-to-back promotions from non-league football to League One.

It’s been an incredible journey for the Welsh team, who have seen their fortunes transformed following the arrival of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney three years ago, with a series of smart signings helping them end their 15 year spell outside of the Football League.
Paul Mullin dropped from League Two to help spearhead their promotion push out of the National League, and has since become a hero in Wrexham thanks to his 100 goals and 11 assists in 133 games.
Winger Elliot Lee then left Luton’s books to sign with the Dragons, while Wrexham chiefs also managed to lure a trio of former Premier League stars to the Racecourse Ground in Ben Foster - who has since retired - James McClean and Steven Fletcher.
And it appears another could now be in their sights.

Vardy has himself just sealed promotion back to the top flight with Leicester, banging in 18 league goals to help the Foxes to the Championship title.
But the 37-year-old striker's future beyond this season is uncertain, with his contract at the King Power Stadium due to expire in the summer.
Vardy has cemented his name into Leicester folklore in 13 seasons with the club - joining as the first ever £1million non-league player, helping the club to Premier League promotion and then arguably the most unlikely title in English football history, while also lifting the FA Cup and Community Shield.
In total, Vardy has scored 190 goals in Leicester City blue.

It has been suggested he will be offered a new deal to stay put at the King Power this summer, but would the opportunity to join the Wrexham adventure appeal?
The Welsh side’s executive director Humphrey Ker was recently asked about a possible move for Vardy, and refused to rule anything out.

"There's nothing to say that Jamie Vardy wouldn't be a great Wrexham player," Ker told SPORTbible.
"It's not a name I've had mentioned inside the building before but, you know, age and profile wouldn't put us off."
Wrexham appear to be making room for new signings, having announced the departures of eight players at the end of the season, including beloved club captain Luke Young.
Before their exits, though, the promotion-winning team has been treated by their owners to an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas.

It will be all business again when they return from their post-season breaks, with Kerr joining talkSPORT this week to reflect on their last two seasons and their goals in League One next term.
He told Hawksbee and Jacobs: "We have every chance of achieving something special again next year."
Whether that includes Vardy, we’ll have to wait and see.
