The British media reported that Arsenal reached an agreement to recruit striker Will Wright from Salford City. To win Wright, the Gunners must pay Salford City about 200,000 pounds.
Before joining Arsenal, Wright was also the pursuit of Liverpool. However, the “Red Brigade” lost to Arsenal in the fight to win the 17 -year -old player because they only made a proposal worth £ 100,000. According to The Mirror, when selling young talents to Arsenal, Salford City has an additional term that allows me to collect a fee incurred.
If Wright meets a number of conditions, Arsenal will have to pay Salford City for another 200,000 pounds. Although very young, Wright was like a “goalscorer”, because he proved extremely effective in taking advantage of opportunities. The evidence is that last season, Wright scored more than 50 goals at all levels for Salford City. However, if only Team 1, Wright can only play in 4 matches in the season 2024/25.
Notably, in the starting stage for the new season Wright was also gathered with the seniors in the first team. In the last 4 friendly matches, Arsenal's rookie contributed to Salford City up to 3 goals.
When Wright was so sharp, it was not surprising that besides Arsenal and Liverpool, there were a series of other teams who also wanted to cooperate with him such as Brentford, Leicester City or Burnley. Coming to Arsenal, it is likely that Wright will only play for U18 and U21 teams of the northern representatives of London, and then be considered by coach Mikel Arteta.
