Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Salford City striker Will Wright

Liverpool are pushing to sign Salford City striker Will Wright for a six-figure sum, and the Anfield club are set to pip several Premier League clubs to his services as they are in advanced talks with him, according to journalist and transfer insider Ben Jacobs. The likes of Arsenal and Manchester City are also keen on the 17-year-old sensation, but it is Liverpool who are closing in on his services. The Reds want to bolster their attacking ranks and have been linked with both Newcastle United hitman Alexander Isak and his Eintracht Frankfurt counterpart Hugo Ekitike, but they see a deal for Wright as equally important given his huge potential and quality.
