Salford City are set to sign Brendan Wiredu from Plymouth Argyle, with the midfielder having a medical ahead of a proposed transfer.

What's happening?

The 26-year-old joined Plymouth Argyle from Fleetwood Town last summer on a three-year contract. He made 26 starts and 16 substitute appearances last season.

Why it matters for Salford City

The potential signing of Wiredu could be a significant boost for Salford City, who are currently 20th in League Two with 0 points, having scored 1 goal and conceded 3, and are 3 points behind leaders Walsall. Their next fixture is against Barnet at home on 2027-03-06.

What comes next?

Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley said that Wiredu's game time could be impacted by the arrival of summer signing Harvey White from Stevenage. Cleverley also stated that the club are happy with their squad but are still trying to improve it, and may add one more player before the transfer deadline on September 1. Wiredu's potential departure from Plymouth Argyle could open the way for the club to make two new signings before the transfer deadline.
