Matthieu Epolo Transfer from Standard Liège to Wrexham
Wrexham could target Matthieu Epolo, a 21-year-old Belgian-Congolese dual national, this summer as a potential smart long-term investment. Epolo is considered one of Europe's most promising young goalkeepers and made 29 appearances for Standard Liège in the Belgian Pro League across the league and play-offs. He finished the season with the second-best save percentage in Belgium's top flight and was ranked ninth for goals prevented, having conceded 35 goals against an expected goals-on-target figure of 38.09. While he is a proficient shot-stopper, his 61.4% passing accuracy is an aspect that could be developed. The young player, who has one senior cap, has been named in DR Congo's World Cup squad, but signing a player without experience in English football would present some risk. Epolo, who joined his current club in July 2021, is under contract until 2029 and has also been linked with Strasbourg; his current market value is €5.00m.
