Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Wrexham have agreed a reported £2 million fee with Manchester City for Issa Kabore, with sources saying the deal is close to completion pending routine paperwork and a medical.
- Kabore impressed on loan at the Racecourse Ground in 2025–26, making 32 appearances and supplying eight assists while also returning from a hamstring injury to play for Burkina Faso at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
- The 25-year-old joined Manchester City from KV Mechelen in 2020 but never played competitively for City and spent seven seasons out on loan across Europe before arriving at Wrexham.
- If completed, the transfer would be Wrexham’s fourth confirmed signing this summer after Danny Imray, Ben Whiteman and goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, and it fits a wider, well-funded recruitment drive under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
- Wrexham remain linked with further late-window business, notably left-back Jacques Ekomie, and the next developments to watch are final contract clearance before September 1 and how Parkinson uses Kabore to strengthen the club’s right-side and attacking width.
