Little has already secured the services of one new player, midfielder Paul Carden, who has joined Wrexham from Accrington Stanley.

And although the Reds' boss believes there will be more activity in the transfer market throughout the month of June, he has not ruled out more players coming on board in the not too distant future.

"We're all very active and speaking to people all the time, and we have a couple of strong irons in the fire," said Little today.

"We have spoken to players and made offers verbally so we are waiting to see what happens.

"We said that it would be a few weeks until things really take off, and it might be some time later in June when people make their move.

"But we will see if one of those we are speaking to happens quickly based on what we have in place. I am hoping to have some more good news in the next week or so.

"Things are in place, it is just not the right time to announce it yet."

Little has been linked with another midfielder, Tom Kearney, who has been at Halifax Town – in administration and facing demotion of at least two steps down the football pyramid from the Blue Square Premier – for the last two seasons.

Former Everton trainee Kearney joined Halifax in September 2006 after spending four years at Bradford City where he made 54 league appearances, scoring two goals.

And Little spoke highly of the 26-year-old central midfielder.

"I have known Tom for years and seen him play." said Little. "I have watched him for Bradford years ago and know his background from his Everton days.

"Tom is a good player who for the last couple of years has played beneath the level he should be at. We like him a lot."

Little has admitted he wants to bolster the striker department having seen Wrexham score the fewest goals in League Two last season.

Although he is still waiting to hear if out of contract centre-back Steve Evans – currently away on international duty with Wales – will accept the offer of a new deal, Little is still actively looking to strengthen his defence, and said positive steps have been taken as he aims to add fresh faces in both positions.

"Hopefully we have a striker lined up and it is a yes," said Little.

"Another striker we are keen on is a bit more difficult as we are faced with a bit of competition.

"We have also made moves in the centre-back area, but until it is done we can't really shout about it.

"However, we are making progress every day without doubt."

Following an unsuccessful battle with relegation last term, Wrexham will be lining up in the Blue Square Premier in August but Little admits he has targeted players who are being sought after by Football League clubs.

And although he may be unable to tempt those players to The Racecourse, Little has contingency plans: "I am just hopeful we have got enough to entice people to play for us in our division," he said.

"One or two players are being hunted by Football League clubs which has slowed it down. They would be more than comfortable playing in the league.

"I won't get an answer yet because players are seeing what else lies ahead. Perhaps I might not get them but I also have other things underneath."

With 22 players told they have no future at The Racecourse, Little's overhaul of the Wrexham squad is in full swing. However, five of those players – Anthony Williams, Richard Hope, Sam Aiston, Silvio Spann and Michael Proctor – remain under contract for at least another season.

But Little admits there has been interest from other clubs in the quintet: "They are under contract so it is slightly different for them," he added. "I know one or two have had offers, and hopefully they will take those offers.

"Everybody has got family and I understand they have to make the right move at the right time. They are waiting to decide which way they want to go.

"But it is for their benefit for them to be playing football regularly
and I am trying to create as much movement as I can."
