The Reds have announced the arrival of the 17-year-old, despite Arsenal looking like they would win the battle for his signature. The club added that the young striker has already played for their Under-21 side in a draw with City on Saturday.

Salford are owned by a consortium fronted by Manchester iconsu0026nbsp;David Beckham and Gary Neville. So for the Class of ’92 in particular, seeing Wright moving to rivals Liverpool may have been tough to swallow. But ultimately, money talks, and it appears Salford received an offer they could not refuse.

Wright, who is very highly rated, made his Salford debut last November when he featured in an EFL Trophy clash with Wolves’ Under-21s before making his FA Cup and bow earlier this year.u0026nbsp;

Rising star Wright, who was also a target for , , City and Burnleyu0026nbsp;earlier this summer, will have his sights set on making his Liverpool debut for Arne Slot’s team in the not-so-distant future.
