Liverpool have made some big moves this summer.
Florian Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen, smashing the British transfer fee record. He is expected to lead the new-look attack at Anfield.
But behind the headlines, the club has also been working on future prospects.
Arne Slot is always looking to inject young blood into the squad, as they are the future of Liverpool.
But he is not the only Premier League boss with the same philosophy. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also has the same philosophy.
The Gunners are very active in the transfer market this season. They are doing everything they can to back Arteta and finally clinch the Premier League trophy after two decades.
Andra Berta has already brought in Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Christian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Viktor Gyokeres.
The Gunners are showing intent. And they are ready to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City this season for the Premier League trophy.
But Mikel Arteta is also looking to bring in some young talent. And, both Liverpool and Arsenal have set their sights on the same player.
However, according to DaveOCKOP, the Gunners have stepped up in the last 72 hours and are close to agreeing a deal for Will Wright.
Wright plays for Salford City, a club owned by Manchester United legends like Beckham and Neville, could earn more than £500,000 in the deal. The structure of Arsenal’s offer has impressed.
The 17-year-old has already made his FA Cup debut against Manchester City and has scored over 40 goals for Salford’s youth and reserve teams.
And now, Will Wright is all set to join the North London side instead of Liverpool, even though it looked like he could be heading to Merseyside recently.
If Arsenal can put pen to paper for Will Wright, then it will be a significant coup on Liverpool as Arne Slot thought he had his player.
