Swindon Town midfielder Saidou Khan is the subject of interest from fellow League Two giants Wrexham ahead of a potential January move, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke from Football Insider.
The 27-year-old has been an integral part of Michael Flynn’s midfield so far this season but the Welsh giants are reportedly ready to pay a six-figure fee in order to tempt Swindon into selling in January.
Khan has made 18 appearances in all competitions so far this season, picking up three assists in the process, with two of those arriving during the 4-2 loss against league leaders Stockport County.
The midfielder joined Swindon Town in July 2022 from National League side Chesterfield after spending his entire career in the Non-League scene, playing for various other sides including Maidstone United, Dulwich Hamlet and Dagenham & Redbridge.
Since joining the club at the end of last season, Michael Flynn’s side have resumed their push for a play-off place in League Two, with the side currently sat tenth in the latest standings, ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Accrington Stanley. Victory would take Swindon above their opponents in the table and potentially into the top seven.
Meanwhile, Wrexham have flew up the League Two table after a frustrating start to life back in the football league. Phil Parkinson’s men currently sit second in the table, although they are five points behind the league leaders Stockport County but have won five of their last six games in all competitions.
With the club having hit form this season, there can be no surprise to see a title challenger keen to land a midfield reinforcement to further push for the title.

Khan has been a crucial part of Michael Flynn’s side so far this season and it would take an extremely high offer to even tempt Swindon Town into selling.
Having said that, Wrexham have the money to be able to try and persuade Swindon Town and is also an attractive club to join, given they could be in League One next season, but whether he remains at Swindon is yet to be decided.
