Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign an exciting forward.

We're all hyper-focused on the Alexander Isak situation at the moment. Understandably so, Liverpool could pull off a truly remarkable transfer if they manage to get a deal over the line for the Swedish forward.

However, Isak is not the only transfer Liverpool are going to be working on. Richard Hughes is in Tokyo at the moment and him and the rest of his team are going to be very busy making moves in the market.

Most notably, they will also be looking to sign a centre-back and there will be a way they will want to replace Luis Diaz as well, who is expected to depart.

On top of that, they have a responsibility to negotiate sales for some of the club's players who want to move on. Notably, the likes of Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton.

Hughes is not solely responsible for bringing in younger talent, players like Rio Ngumoha, for example, last summer, however, he does have final say in the matter.

And it looks like the Reds are working around the clock to bring in someone potentially as exciting as Ngumoha to their academy ranks.

17-year-old Will Wright scored over 40 goals for Salford City's academy last season, and he's already featured for the club's first team as a 16-year-old four times.

One of those appearances included a late cameo against Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Impressively, last season there were only two 16-year-olds who made appearances in the FA Cup in the third round and beyond and one of them was Ngumoha and the other was Wright.

Now this summer, Wright begun pre-season by scoring four times in three appearances for Salford's first team. It was rumoured that Liverpool were interested in him.

He fits the bill in terms of the kind of striker Arne Slot likes to use. Wright is tall, quick and he thrives in front of goal.
