Liverpool are set to land Salford City youngster Will Wright for a six-figure transfer fee, according to talkSPORT.



His potential would give him a high resale value, potentially allowing the Reds to make a serious profit further down the line.

Any chance of Wright making a first-team debut in the near future would appear to be slim, given that Liverpool are said to be chasing a blockbuster move for Alexander Isak.

It was reported on Tuesday that senior Reds figures had reached out to Newcastle to register their interest in doing business.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed by The Telegraph that the Magpies are braced for an offer in the region of £130m.

This would smash Liverpool's existing transfer record and set a new benchmark for the most expensive deal in British football history.

Newcastle chiefs are said to be angry with the Reds for making what they feel is a deliberate attempt to unsettle Isak.

A formal bid is yet to be submitted but it seems clear that Liverpool want the 25-year-old to lead the line for them next season.

So far, the Magpies have maintained that Isak is not for sale with Eddie Howe making it clear that he does not want to lose the Swedish striker.

Earlier this year, the Newcastle boss said: "Alexander is not for sale.

That's what I'm focused on, not the other way around."
