The British media reported that Liverpool won against Arsenal in the race to get the young striker Will Wright of Salford City. The 17 -year -old is expected to go to Merseyside to medical examination before signing a contract with The Kop in the near future.
According to the Daily Star, it is not Liverpool but Arsenal itself is the team approaching Wright first. However, Salford City's “jewel” refused the Gunners because they prefer to join the red brigade. For its part, BLD Salford City also did not seek to keep Wright. They agreed to transfer their players to Liverpool for £ 200,000, not to mention the incurred fee.
If there was no surprise happening in the medical examination, Wright would play for the U21 Liverpool team to wait for the opportunity to go to the first team. The former coach of Wales has just accepted the youth team of The Kop not long ago. His mission is to take over the work left by his predecessor Barry Lewtas.
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, this player 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.
