Wrexham targeted Sidiki Cherif, an 18-year-old French-Guinean forward at Angers, for a potential £17 million deal. The player has also attracted interest from clubs such as Newcastle. Cherif joined Angers in July 2023, holds a contract until 2028, and has scored 4 goals in 17 Ligue 1 appearances this season. According to Transfermarkt, his estimated market value is €7.00m. In January 2026, Angers reportedly rejected a €23 million offer from Paris FC and valued the player at €30 million. In December 2025, an offer of nearly €20 million from Villarreal was considered insufficient.
