According to the Sun, Arsenal is expected to sign Salford U18 striker Will Wright for a price of 250,000 pounds + a high surcharge.

Will Wright currently plays for Salford U18 in the English League Two. He scored 4 goals for Salford's first team in the preseason and played 4 games for the first team last season, including the team's 0-8 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.

The Sun said that Arsenal is expected to sign Wright for 250,000 pounds + high surcharge. Liverpool has always been the next player to the players. They offered a quotation of 100,000 pounds plus 200,000 pounds. Manchester City and Burnley also had the interest in the striker.

Last season, Wright scored more than 50 goals for Salford teams of all levels. He is unlikely to enter the first team of Arsenal after completing the transfer and will enter the U21 echelon.
