While the Gunners stalled, Liverpool swooped in, taking advantage of their geographical proximity and clear development plan for youth (viaThe Athletic).

This transfer marks yet another aggressive move from the Reds this window and continues their pattern of hijacking key targets.

Wright reportedly chose Liverpool over Arsenal, citing clearer opportunities and fewer relocation hassles.

Liverpool have now made a habit of securing top talents just as rivals were preparing to announce them.

While neither Bayern Munich nor Arsenal have publicly commented on the shift in each transfer, the sudden change in momentum — especially in the Wirtz and Wright moves — caught many throughout Europe off guard.

Analysts noted that Liverpool’s recruitment team moved decisively in the final stages, overturning what appeared to be settled deals.

With three hijacks in one window, Liverpool are not just signing talent; they are also disrupting rival plans, proving once again that when it comes to transfer business, they’ve become one of the sharpest operators in the Premier League.
