I think it was like 20 Premier League appearances. So he obviously couldn&#8217;t find a way back to the side and is now available for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor someone like Wrexham who enters the championship, I think his experience alone will work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a good addition and he&#8217;s going to be a good footballer. There&#8217;s no doubt about that. He feels he can stop by the championship and be a very good player for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where are they not taking him with him on a free transfer at 35? I think that&#8217;s a good signing on the Welsh side.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aaron_Creswell_needs_game_time\"><\/span>Aaron Creswell needs game time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/west-ham-united-v-manchester-united-premier-league-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/west-ham-united-v-manchester-united-premier-league-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/west-ham-united-v-manchester-united-premier-league-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/west-ham-united-v-manchester-united-premier-league-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/west-ham-united-v-manchester-united-premier-league.jpg.webp 3361w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">West Ham United&#8217;s Aaron Creswell celebrates the victory. (Photo: Ryan Pierse\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Creswell has struggled with regular game times at West Ham this past season, and he is trying to play regularly. At Leeds United, he may not be a guaranteed starter, so the move to Wrexham is likely to appeal to him. It is still unknown how the situation will develop.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds needs more depth with defensive units, and the 35-year-old will also be a useful player for them. Junior Furpo will need to be replaced in the summer and he is expected to move on. It will be interesting to see where West Ham&#8217;s defender ends.<\/p>\n<p>His contract with the London Club will soon end and he will soon try to determine his future. He needs to join a club where he has enough playing time. He is on the Twilight stage of his career, and he wouldn&#8217;t want to sit on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds can certainly use players with his quality and experience, but they must provide him with a guarantee of game time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds United manager Daniel Fark makes a gesture during a Sky Bet Championship match.
