Wrexham have confirmed the signing of Conor Coady from Leicester as they close in on a deal for Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore.

Coady has signed a two-year deal at the club with an option to extend his stay by a further year.

Sky Sports News understands negotiations for Coady accelerated on Thursday following a £2m bid and talks progressed well.

Coady was impressed by Wrexham's facilities and chose to join them despite interest from Rangers, who made an approach for the player in June.

Coady had one year remaining on his current Leicester contract.

Meanwhile, Wrexham and Sheffield United have also agreed a fee in the region of £2m to sign Moore.

The Wales international is a prolific Championship striker with 60 goals in 203 appearances, including play-off matches.

Wrexham, co-owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, are back in the second tier for the first time since 1982 and have already made six permanent signings as they continue their push from non-league to the Premier League.

Josh Windass, Danny Ward, George Thomason, Liberato Cacace, Ryan Hardie and Lewis O'Brien are the confirmed signings so far, while the club also held talks with Christian Eriksen.

The Welsh side held talks with Denmark international Eriksen, who is a free agent after leaving Manchester United this summer.

The 33-year-old is said to still prefer a move to a top-flight club, but has been impressed by the pitch and ambition made by Wrexham.

Eriksen made 23 Premier League appearances last season for United, scoring one goal and recording two assists.
