Arsenal have emerged as frontrunners to sign promising Salford City striker Will Wright, journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed.
Mikel Arteta’s side are reportedly leading Premier League rivals Liverpool in the race to capture the highly-rated 17-year-old forward, having offered Salford a higher transfer fee.
Liverpool are said to be unwilling to match Arsenal’s offer for Wright following advanced talks in the past 72 hours and could soon concede defeat in the race.
