40-goal forward wants Liverpool move

Liverpool have been linked with no shortage of forwards during the summer transfer window. With the future of Darwin Nunez under threat, it appears the Reds are determined to find an upgrade in the centre-forward position.

We’ve seen extensive links with the likes of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Victor Osimhen - among others. Each of those players could come in and hit the ground running at No9 - providing Arne Slot an instant attacking boost.

Liverpool looking at Will Wright

The League Two side are in possession of one of the most exciting teenage prospects in the English game.

Wright, 17, has already made his senior debuts in League Two and the FA Cup and his exploits at youth and underage level have put him on the radar of several big clubs - Liverpool included.

He scored over 40 goals for the various Salford sides last season with the 6’3 striker already looking ready for the next step.

Wright wants Liverpool move

Liverpool would probably utilise Wright in their youth and academy set-up should he join - but the Reds will have to hold off interest from Manchester City to land the frontman.

The Reds are reported to have made an offer for Wright - although according to a new report in the Daily Mail they are still waiting to hear back on that front.

That delay has seen City propose a bid - said to be worth over £100,000 plus add-ons. According to the same report, Arsenal, Brentford, Leicester and Burnley are all hoping to land the teen marksman.
