The Red Dragons are preparing for life in the second tier after achieving their third straight promotion, a division Foster knows well having twice won promotion out of it.

Foster said on the Fozcast: "The next season is so, so hard for Wrexham. They just need to consolidate for a year, maybe two, maybe three. But then they’re going to be looking at a five-year period where they’re going, 'Right, we need to be challenging'. I genuinely think, within five years, Wrexham will be in the Premier League."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wrexham are already planning to make a splash, with moves for Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy and Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney mooted. The Fulham midfielder is said to have been offered £50,000 per week to sign for the Welsh club.

Patrick Bamford is another high-profile name to have been linked with Wrexham, who seemingly have eyes on going up again. Community director Humphrey Ker this week distanced the club from the rumours, however, claiming "I will say that obviously one of the things is that – much like Ryan Reynolds – the name Wrexham generates clicks, so we are starting now to get linked with absolutely everybody."
