Southampton's Cameron Archer is reportedly being eyed by Wrexham for a potential loan deal, as the Saints close in on a season-long loan for Manchester City's Divin Mubama. The 24-year-old struggled for minutes at St Mary's last season under both Will Still and Tonda Eckert, playing less than 1,000 minutes of league football across 30 appearances.
What happened to Cameron Archer at Southampton?
Archer, 24, would still score four and grab three assists in that time, but despite this, he never appeared to be a part of Eckert's plan at St Mary's beyond this summer. A move to Rangers last January fell through, and following Southampton's capture of Lewis Dobbin for around £9 million earlier on in the window, an exit appears increasingly likely.
Why does Wrexham want to challenge West Bromwich Albion for Cameron Archer's signature?
Archer, despite his struggles last season for Southampton, has an excellent goalscoring record at Championship level. In 70 games in the second tier, the 24-year-old has scored 22 and grabbed ten assists, and had he not been limited to 19 appearances off the bench last campaign, that record would be even more impressive.
What comes next for Cameron Archer?
Wrexham, despite their abundance of attacking options, appear keen to add Archer to the mix, despite already boasting the likes of Kieffer Moore, Bailey Cadamarteri, Nathan Broadhead, Ryan Hardie, Davis Keillor-Dunn, and Josh Windass. The Welsh outfit has money to spend, despite the £5 million addition of Danny Imray and £3 million capture of Josh Austerfield.
