One young striker wanted by Liverpool is proving why the Reds and a host of other clubs have their eyes on him.

Arne Slot’s side have their sights on signing a No.



Liverpool are also looking to the future.

The Reds’ recruitment drive this summer has seen them sign Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, Milos Kerkez and Freddie Woodman.

Current No.

9 Darwin Nunez is increasingly looking like he has played his last game for Liverpool.

His imminent exit coupled with the devastating loss of Diogo Jota means that Liverpool will have to bring in another forward this summer.

Several names have been linked with a possible summer move, including Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak..

Liverpool are also looking to sign young players that will help the club in years to come.

One player who has been heavily scouted ahead of a potential move is Salford City’s Will Wright.

The 17-year-old is one of the most exciting talents to come out of the Salford City academy, and we exclusively revealed that he is attracting interest from Liverpool as well as several top Premier League sides.

Wright plays as a centre forward, and he has scored more than 40 goals for Salford’s youth and reserve teams.

The youngster proved his goalscoring prowess by scoring twice in Salford City’s 2-2 pre+season draw against FC United on Tuesday.

Wright scored in the 47th and 60th minute, helping Karl Robinson’s side maintain their unbeaten start to the pre-season.

Wright went on to score the following evening also?

He found the net against Ashton United on Wednesday.

Goal scoring streak continues

Wright has also found the net on Friday night for Salford City against York City, scoring his fourth goal of the week.

Liverpool continue talks over potential move

Liverpool are continuing talks with Salford City as the Reds look to reach an agreement for the youngster.

Arsenal and Leicester City have a long standing interest in Wright.

Manchester City made a play to sign the 17-year-old in May and maintain an interest.

Liverpool look to be in the driving seat but talks are still deadlocked as an agreement looks to be reached.

It is believed that Liverpool are offering an incentivised package for Wright with Salford City holding out for a larger guaranteed up front fee at the moment.

With Wright proving his quality in the Salford first-team, the Reds will be hoping to secure his services as they look to add another talented attacker to the club’s academy.
