Wrexham have been on the rise over the past few terms, excelling in the EFL Championship now. The Ryan Reynolds-owned team is hoping for a historic fourth successive promotion, with the club currently sitting in a much-coveted play-off spot in the league table.
A pundit has recently backed the Welsh outfit to compete in the Premier League next season.
Dion Dublin Backs Wrexham for Premier League
During a recent interview with OLBG, former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin claimed that the atmosphere at Wrexham’s stadium is fit for the Premier League.
“I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve seen the noise. I’ve seen the enthusiasm. Rob (Mac) and Ryan’s box is right above us. So we hear all the shouting and screaming when they’ve won. So the atmosphere is there,” the 1997-98 Premier League Golden Boot winner said.

Dublin, who scored 111 times in 312 Premier League games, also stated that the Welsh side is more than capable of continuing its success story this term.
“I think, if they do do it, I don’t think anybody has ever done it before. Going from the bottom to the top is quite rare. But yeah, the excitement’s still there. Wrexham as a place is absolutely bouncing. I think they have every chance of doing it. But if they do do it, they have to recruit incredibly well to stay there,” the former England international commented.
The 56-year-old further advised the Phil Parkinson-coached team to snap up proven players this summer if they are promoted to the Premier League for the first time.
“They would need some more experience if they did get there. They need some players that have played in the Premier League. They need some players that know how to keep hold of a win. They go behind quite a lot. They do go behind quite a lot because they back themselves. And they back themselves, especially at home, to get chances,” Dublin added.

Wrexham, who were competing in the fifth-tier of English soccer in the 2022-23 campaign, spent around $46 million in transfers across two windows this term. Should they reach the Premier League, they would likely double their transfer spending to secure safety.
As things stand, Parkinson’s team is in sixth spot in the 2025-26 Championship table with 54 points from 34 league games. They are three points behind both Ipswich Town and Hull City, and five points off third-placed Millwall with 12 more games remaining.
