In a transfer few saw coming, Liverpool are set to seal a shock deal to sign a 40-goal wonderkid from Salford City. The prolific teenager has caught the attention of top clubs with his performances in Salford’s youth ranks, and is set to make the leap to Anfield in what could be one of the most exciting youth signings of the summer. With Liverpool continuing to invest in future talent, this deal could turn out to be a masterstroke.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is building a formidable squad for the coming year with the signings of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
The club also have a deal in place to sign Milos Kerkez, but the arrival of goalkeeping prodigy Armin Pecsi showed that the Reds also want to invest in young talent who could become the bedrock of the team in the coming years.
Liverpool are pushing to sign one more young player in the form of Salford City wonderkid Will Wright, who is likely to end up at Anfield this summer.

Liverpool push to sign Salford City wonderkid
According to DavidOCKOP, Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign 17-year-old Salford City striker Will Wright in the ongoing transfer window.
He has scored more than 40 goals for Salford’s academy sides and got a few minutes in their 8-0 FA Cup defeat against Manchester City last season.
His appearance in the big game showed how highly he is rated at Salford, and Liverpool are now pushing to secure a deal to take him to Anfield.
Wright would be keen on the move to Anfield, where he would likely have to wait longer to break into the first team than at Salford.
However, Liverpool are keen to convince the striker to make the move and join the club’s academy in the coming days and weeks.
