Wrexham Set to Sign Ben Whiteman from Preston North End

Wrexham is on the verge of finalizing the signing of Ben Whiteman, the captain of Preston North End. The midfielder recently completed a medical with Wrexham and is expected to be their second signing of the summer transfer window.

Whiteman has made 200 appearances in the Championship and played 43 times for Preston last season. His departure comes after he reportedly indicated to club management that he had played his last game for the team, a move criticized by Preston's manager, Paul Heckingbottom.

Heckingbottom expressed his disappointment with Whiteman's actions, stating that the player crossed a line in his communication with the club. Meanwhile, Wrexham is also dealing with transfer speculation surrounding midfielder George Dobson, who has been linked to Sheffield Wednesday.
