Wrexham's Chris Llewellyn has admitted he is sick of the speculation linking him with other clubs.
Llewellyn has been continually rumoured to be on the verge of signing for Peterborough United, and manager Darren Ferguson – a former Wrexham team-mate – has made enquiries about the availability of the Welsh international since taking over at London Road.

Speculation has continued to mount because Llewellyn is out of contract at The Racecourse this summer and, like another nine players, will be told early next week by manager Brian Little if he will be offered a new deal.

And Llewellyn accepted that he faces an uncertain future: "There's a few in the same position, waiting to see if they will be offered a new contract or not," he said today.

"Nothing is sorted until we sit down with the gaffer. There is a bit of uncertainty but that is the way the gaffer wants to do it and you have to respect that.

"There are rumours about players like myself being linked with other clubs.

"I am fed up of it – I just get on with training and playing.

"I have supposed to have been going to Peterborough for the last two years and I am still here.

"Now I am out of contract and what will be will be."

Llewellyn, in his second spell at Wrexham, said his family have settled in the area and would prefer not to relocate, but the former Norwich City striker admitted that professional footballers would rather continue to ply their trade in the Football League.

"There are a lot of factors to consider," said Llewellyn. "Everyone wants to stay in the Football League but my family are settled here.

"Distance and everything else comes into it so you have to look at the overall picture.

"I will make what I feel is the best decision for my family and myself."
Llewellyn conceded that out of contract players don't have a divine right to get themselves fixed up elsewhere, or earn a new deal at their present club.

"It is easier said than done getting sorted," said Llewellyn.

"You could go for money in January and go for nothing now, but clubs have different budgets and may have different ideas.

"There is always uncertainty until you sign. No-one has a divine right to a new contract or a new club."

Llewellyn is focussed on Wrexham's final match of the season against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank, the Reds' last match in the Football League following relegation.

With Little continuing his policy of giving younger players a chance to impress, Llewellyn will be one of the few senior players on display,and he is hoping Wrexham can end a disappointing season on a high note.

"It has been a long season which has not gone as we planned," added Llewellyn. "All the lads, especially the younger players, will be going out to try and impress, put on a decent show and hopefully win.

"There is still a lot to play for.

"Everyone is talking about contracts but as a footballer you have got pride.

"No-one likes losing and we want to go out with a bang.

"We have got nothing to lose. We are due a win and it would be nice to do that."

Meanwhile, Chester city boss Simon Davies has distanced himself from interest in Wrexham striker Michael Proctor.

He said: "I'd be interested in a goalscorer, but I'm not so much heading that way (Proctor).

"I've got a few players in mind, but until I know what I can do it's difficult to say any more."

Proctor scored twice for Wrexham against Chester in the derby match at The Racecourse earlier this season which finished in a 2-2 draw, and he also grabbed a goal in Wrexham's 2-0 win against Chester at the Deva Stadium.

The Reds' leading goalscorer has been made available for a transfer from Wrexham after scoring 12 goals this season.
