Manchester City is reportedly in the race to secure young Salford City sensation Will Wright. The 17-year-old forward`s potential transfer is attracting interest from other Premier League giants, with Liverpool also competing for the promising talent`s signature. This competition between two of England`s major football powers highlights the significant interest in Wright`s potential, with Arsenal currently trailing in the pursuit of the English gem. As of now, City and Liverpool are the primary contenders vying for the young forward from Salford City – a club ironically owned by Manchester United legends like David Beckham and Gary Neville.
Wright is a promising centre-forward known for his physical strength and speed. Standing at 1.90m tall, he excels in off-the-ball movement, finding space effectively in the penalty area. He has scored over 40 goals across Salford`s youth and reserve teams, showcasing a keen eye for goal. He made his senior debut in the 2024 FA Cup against Manchester City, playing for a few minutes.
