Liverpool in Advanced Talks to Sign Salford Starlet Will Wright
Liverpool are reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign highly rated 17-year-old striker Will Wright from Salford City, beating out competition from several Premier League rivals — including Arsenal.
According to Daily Mail, Wright is viewed as one of the brightest young attacking talents outside the top flight, and interest in his services has been growing steadily. However, it appears Liverpool are currently leading the race.
Reliable journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed Liverpool’s strong interest, revealing that the Reds are working on a six-figure deal to secure the teenager. He wrote:
“Liverpool pushing to sign Salford City striker Will Wright for a six-figure sum. Several Premier League clubs interested, but #LFC currently in advanced talks.”
Although Arsenal were previously linked, Jacobs did not mention them in his latest update, though he acknowledged that multiple Premier League clubs continue to monitor the situation closely.
A Smart Long-Term Investment
If completed, Wright’s arrival would mark another proactive move in an already busy summer at Anfield. Liverpool have already secured Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez, while Alexander Isak remains a top striker target per The Athletic and The Telegraph.
While Will Wright may not be a first-team addition just yet, his signing would signal Liverpool’s ongoing commitment to future-proofing their squad. The club has a track record of developing young talent into stars — and Wright could be the next gem in the making.
🔴 One for the Future?
With the deal progressing quickly, Liverpool will be keen to finalize terms before rivals escalate their interest.
