In December, Tom scored his final goal for Millwall in a 1-0 triumph over Norwich City. It would be unfair to judge Tom only based on his 5.2 xG from 37 shots from last season, when Millwall scored an average of 1 goal per game, placing them in 22nd position for goals scored. The team also finished 20th for xG overall with 45.3.Currently under contract, Wrexham has multiple strikers, but manager Phil Parkinson would rather play with two up top.Billy Waters joined Wrexham in March 2023 while they were vying for promotion, however he hasn’t played well and has only made eight appearances without scoring. In January, he was sent on loan to Doncaster Rovers, where he played in 11 games but failed to score.Paul Mullin joined Wrexham when Cambridge United was promoted to League One, and he has been the team’s top scorer for the three seasons he has been there. With 26 goals in the last campaign and 100 goals overall, you would think he would continue to spearhead the attack.Jack Marriott, a skilled League One striker who has played in over 100 games at both the League and Championship levels, is not like the other strikers Wrexham has; he is more of a poacher than an on-shoulder type like Mullin.At 24 years old, Sam Dalby is the newest striker for Wrexham. Similar to Mullin, Dalby is technically skilled and typically drops into the number 10 position in an attempt to link up play even though he hasn’t played at the League One level yet.Ollie Palmer, 32, is the next striker that Wrexham has on their roster right now. Throughout his career, the striker has made 41 appearances in League One, netting 10 goals at a rate of one per 236 minutes.Last but not least, Steven Fletcher extended his contract earlier this summer. He has over 150 games under his belt in the Championship and Premier League, and he represents Scotland internationally. He provides the front line with experience and a serious aerial threat.Tom would be a wise addition to Wrexham, in my opinion. Even though the team does have a number of forwards under contract, each one of them brings something unique to the table, which is important for developing a strong squad. Over the course of several years, Tom has demonstrated his ability to score goals at the Championship level and in a team that prioritises moving the ball swiftly to creative players like Elliot Lee. Their style of play seems like it might fit a player like Tom. He is a cooperative runner who makes good pressure plays from the front and breaks into the channels to allow midfield runners to into the box.In order to balance out the squad, one of the present strikers may need to depart if the move goes through, but that will only become clear in due course.
