Arsenal are set to sign Salford striker Will Wright.

The 17-year-old is expected to be part of the Gunners’ youth setup next season and has been earmarked as a player for the future.

Wright caught the eye at academy level before making his debut for Salford’s first team in League Two last season.

A number of clubs are believed to have been tracking Wright ahead of this summer’s transfer window, including Premier League champions Liverpool.

Wright has been playing for Salford during pre-season this summer, getting on the scoresheet.

Arsenal have been actively looking to recruit at youth level for the past year or so, as the club wants to continue bringing through young players.

The defender has been capped by Scotland at youth level and made his senior debut for St Johnstone last season.
