Wrexham Pursue £6.5m Transfer for Callum O’Hare

Wrexham are pushing to land Sheffield United midfielder Callum O’Hare in a late-window move worth around £6.5m, with the attacking midfielder set for a medical in north Wales on deadline day.

The club want the deal wrapped up before the 23:00 BST cut-off, as Phil Parkinson chases one more major attacking signing to fuel Wrexham’s ambitious rise. O’Hare’s switch would be a permanent move, a significant outlay for the Red Dragons and another statement of intent from the owners.

From Bramall Lane to the Racecourse

Chris Wilder confirmed on Monday that Wrexham had made their move, with the Sheffield United boss openly acknowledging the Welsh club’s aggressive end to the window.

Wilder had described Wrexham’s late recruitment drive as a “blanket bombing” of the market, insisting it was not a criticism but a reflection of how widely they had cast the net.

“This is not a criticism, but Wrexham are in for half the division,” he said before his side’s home Championship clash with Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday night (19:45 BST).

Now one of those many enquiries looks set to turn into a completed transfer.

O’Hare, formerly of Aston Villa, Carlisle United and Coventry City, still had two years left on his contract at Bramall Lane. He has been a regular for the Blades this season, featuring in every game so far and scoring in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Cardiff City.

Letting go of a player in rhythm, and under contract, underlines the scale of Wrexham’s offer and the lure of their project.

Parkinson’s attacking rebuild

Parkinson has been open about his desire to strengthen his forward options, with Wrexham linked to several attacking players during the final days of the window, including Millwall’s Femi Azeez.

The push for O’Hare fits that pattern. An energetic, creative presence between the lines, he offers the kind of guile and drive that can change tight games and unlock deep defences.

For Wrexham, this is not just about adding another name. It is about upgrading the level of the squad again, one window at a time, to match the club’s growing expectations.

If the paperwork and medical fall into place before the clock hits 23:00 BST, O’Hare will become the latest high-profile arrival in north Wales – and another sign that Wrexham have no intention of slowing down.
