Wrexham are pushing to sign Kenyan midfielder Zechariah Nahum Obiero from Leyton Orient on transfer deadline day, with negotiations understood to be moving at pace, Footy-Africa sources can exclusively confirm.
The 21-year-old midfielder has emerged as a late target for the Welsh club as they look to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. Talks between the clubs are ongoing, with the deal progressing quickly.
Obiero has already featured five times for Leyton Orient this season, underlining his importance to the League One side despite his young age.
A product of the Leyton Orient academy, Obiero has risen through the club’s ranks and established himself as a promising midfielder with the technical quality and versatility to operate in the middle of the park.
His development has also attracted attention beyond England, with the Kenyan international regarded as one of the country’s emerging talents.
Wrexham’s interest represents a significant opportunity for Obiero, who could make the step up to a club with growing ambitions and considerable resources following their rise through the English football pyramid.
With negotiations continuing on deadline day, the coming hours could determine whether Wrexham can complete a late deal for the Leyton Orient graduate.
