Wrexham Set to Sign Kabore Permanently
26 Aug
Summary
- Issa Kabore is poised for a permanent move to Wrexham from Manchester City.
- He made 32 appearances for Wrexham during the 2025-26 season.
- Kabore provided more Championship assists than any other Wrexham player.
Wrexham Football Club is on the verge of securing Issa Kabore on a permanent transfer from Manchester City. The Burkina Faso international spent the 2025-26 season on loan with the Welsh side, appearing in 32 matches across all competitions. His contribution included eight assists in the Championship, a tally that surpassed any other Wrexham player.
Kabore's arrival at Wrexham last season was impactful, marked by two assists on his debut. Despite a hamstring injury sustained in November, he returned to feature prominently in the latter half of the season, including participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This move follows multiple loan spells for Kabore after his 2020 transfer to Manchester City.
The 25-year-old right-back, who played as a wing-back for Wrexham, never made a senior appearance for Manchester City. Manager Phil Parkinson has been active in the transfer market, adding Danny Imray, Anthony Patterson, and Ben Whiteman. Further reinforcements, potentially a centre-back and an attacking midfielder, are being considered before the September 1 transfer deadline.
