Liverpool remain in talks with Salford City over a move for striker Will Wright. The Reds are currently stepping up attempts to bolster their striker options, with Newcastle United\u2019s Alexander Isak emerging as a leading candidate, but they are also looking to strengthen at academy level.<\/p>\n
And 17-year-old wonderkid Wright is very much on their radar with discussions ongoing with Salford, who are co-owned by Manchester United legends Gary Neville and David Beckham after they bought out their fellow \u2018Class of \u201892\u2019 former Red Devils team-mates.<\/p>\n
Nothing has been agreed between the two clubs yet. But although a possible \u00a3300,000 fee has been mooted in some sections, the ECHO<\/a> understands that any deal for Wright would cost less than such a figure.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool revisit interest in Alexander Isak alternative they didn’t sign before<\/a>READ MORE: Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen have already made Alexander Isak feelings clear as Liverpool plot bid<\/a><\/p>\n However, Liverpool <\/a>are not the only club interested in signing the 6ft 3in teenager.<\/p>\n Arsenal, Brentford, Leicester City and Burnley have also monitored Wright while the Daily Mail <\/a>reported earlier this summer that Manchester City were set to rival the Reds for the youngster’s signature.<\/p>\n Wright is now going into the second year of his scholarship with Salford after being spotted playing for local sides Euxton Villa and Fylde only two years ago.<\/p>\n He scored more than 50 goals at all levels for the League Two outfit last season and came on against Pep Guardiola’s Man City side in the FA Cup<\/a> at the Etihad in January.<\/p>\n Wright ended up making four first-team appearances for Salford, who are managed by former Liverpool academy coach Karl Robinson, last season, and was included in their matchday squad on 11 occasions.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, he has scored three times for the club\u2019s first team so far during pre-season.<\/p>\n Speaking after netting a brace against FC United, Wright shared his gratitude at being granted first-team opportunities.<\/p>\n
