Wrexham and the German club Mainz are competing to sign Hammarby's Swedish defender, Hampus Skoglund. The Championship team is working on a potential deal to acquire the 21-year-old right-back for £2.6 million. According to sources in Germany, Mainz is currently leading the effort to sign the player. Skoglund has 12 caps for the Sweden U21 team, and his contract with Hammarby runs until December 2029. He has attracted attention from a number of clubs across Europe, including Girona and Parma, after impressing over the last 18 months. He could become Wrexham's first signing of the January transfer window. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €2.2 million. In November 2025, Hammarby's valuation was reportedly around €3-4 million, and in January 2025, Galatasaray was reportedly preparing a bid of approximately €4.3 million.
