He was praised by Declan Rice after six-goal FA Cup thriller, now he’s signing for Wrexham

Wrexham is expected to finalize the signing of Ben Sheaf from Coventry City on transfer deadline day, with the deal reportedly worth £6.5 million, as part of their busy summer transfer window that has already seen 10 new additions.

The move is strongly indicated by co-owner Ryan Reynolds following Sheaf on Instagram, and it marks the 11th signing for the club this summer, aimed at strengthening the squad in the final hours of the window.

Ben Sheaf, a 27-year-old defensive midfielder, began his career in Arsenal's youth ranks and has performed exceptionally well in the Championship with Coventry City, earning recognition for his skills and composure.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been a vocal admirer of Sheaf, praising his anticipation, mental strength, and analytical abilities, and predicting a successful career due to his intelligent approach to the game.

Sheaf also received praise from Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice, who commented "Too composed you" on Sheaf's Instagram post after Coventry's FA Cup semi-final match against Manchester United, where Sheaf impressed despite the team's loss in penalties.

This signing is viewed as a significant boost for Wrexham under manager Phil Parkinson, as Sheaf's addition is expected to help the team climb higher in the Championship table.
