Wrexham has successfully secured the services of Modou Faal from West Bromwich Albion on Deadline Day, marking a significant addition to their squad. The 21-year-old striker, standing at an impressive 6 foot 4, has signed a three-year deal at the Racecourse Ground.
After reports emerged of Faal undergoing his medical at Wrexham, the move has now been finalized, fulfilling manager Phil Parkinson’s desire for a tall and dynamic striker to partner with prolific goal scorer Paul Mullin.
Despite having limited senior appearances for West Brom, Faal showcased his talent during loan spells at Doncaster Rovers and Walsall, where he netted 15 goals in the last season. Delighted with his move to a club with ambitious plans, Faal expressed his excitement to join Wrexham and contribute to their promising project.
The acquisition of Faal signals a shift in the striker department for Wrexham, with aging forwards like Steven Fletcher and Ollie Palmer possibly facing uncertain futures. Parkinson’s vision for a young, energetic frontline aligns with Faal’s profile, making him a key figure in the club’s rejuvenated squad under the ownership of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
