What happened. Wrexham are closing in on a deal to sign Burnley centre-back Joe Worrall before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

• Worrall has been an unused sub in all three Championship games this season.
• Wrexham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their opening four matches.
• Parkinson called recent goals conceded 'two of the softest goals' of his tenure.

If signed, Worrall could shore up a defence that has leaked goals, with Wrexham yet to win in 2026-27.
