Wrexham hitman Paul Mullin admits Premier League 'pipe dream' as he addresses transfer possibilities - despite loving life at Ryan Reynolds' & Rob McElhenney's club

League One

Wrexham

Burton

<p>After helping <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-promotion-league-one-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-forest-green-rovers-mk-dons-barrow/bltc8ffdccfc813e664" target="_blank">Wrexham earn promotion to League One</a>, striker Mullin was asked about the possibility of a bigger club trying to sign him. The 29-year-old admitted he wanted to play at the highest level, to represent Wales one day, and that he is not thinking about leaving Wrexham in the next two years, but - like co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - he is ambitious.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/26/wrexham-paul-mullin-interview-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-dreams" target="_blank"><em>The Guardian</em></a>: “Obviously, I want to play at the highest level possible. I’d love to play for Wales, the country where my nan was born. But in terms of leaving the club it’s never something I think about. I signed a new contract with Wrexham in January because I absolutely adore it. I come home every day and see (his son) Albi, which is the main reason I signed in the first place.</p><p>"I’m here for the next two years. The fans love me, I love them and everything about the club. But if another club made an offer and Wrexham accepted it, then I’m in a position where they’re telling me to go. It’s not something I’m looking for or would wish to happen. It’s quite the opposite. I’d love to play in the Premier League for Wrexham. That’s the pipe dream.</p><p>“It’s also the owners’ dream to one day become a Premier League club. Who knows whether that takes 10 or 20 years? Fifty years or five years? Ryan and Rob are really ambitious and phenomenally successful in all they do. In football they don’t want it to be any different. They want to keep going and get us promoted again.”</p>

WHAT PAUL MULLIN SAID

<p>Wrexham backed up their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-story-ryan-reynolds-owned-national-league-title/bltc41969ec8e37de0e" target="_blank">National League triumph</a> last season with another promotion this term, as the ambitious Red Dragons climb their way up the football pyramid. Mullin, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-motivational-message-wrexham-legend-00-goals-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-side/blt94c1c19b15e15608" target="_blank">scored his 100th goal for the club</a> earlier this month, has been a huge part of that success and keeping him will be vital as they try to ascend to the Championship. Reynolds and McElhenney have spoken about attempting<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/wrexham-co-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-confirm-premier-league-ambition-five-years-or-20/bltc7f61ab8c9a36572" target="_blank"> to reach the Premier League one day</a> but whether they can do that with Mullin - whose contract runs until 2027 - remains to be seen.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wrexham, who sit third in League Two, round off their hugely successful season with a home game against top-of-the-table Stockport County at the Racecourse. If they win and Mansfield fail to do so, the Red Dragons will finish the campaign in second place.</p>
