Wright seemed to be in Liverpool, but the Premier League master withdrew after Arsenal strengthened their persecution.

The conquest of the striker was partially powered by the academy manager Pro Mertesacker’s project to recruit elite young talents.

The ex-Gunners defender has his own budget to strengthen the club’s youth recording.

Wright gave his senior debut for Salford City against Pep Guardiola’s team in the 8-0 defeat of the FA Cup in January.

The striker only played a few minutes of the Etihad -Drubbing, but his inclusion underlined the class of Hierarchy’s trust from 92 to him.

David Beckham and Neville have now losing Wright in the first summer since he became the club’s sole co -owner of the club in May.

Wright, who scored more than 50 goals for Salford for Salford last season, is one of the youngest players who have ever debuted for the second page of the league.

He is in the second year of his scholarship after spending two years ago for the local teams Eupon Villa and Fylde.

Since his debut at the beginning of this year, the 6FT 3in teenager also showed two games against Port Vale and Bradford in league.

Wright has continued to pay attention in the previous season and this month has already scored four goals in three friendly appearances for Salford.

Manchester City, Brentford and Burnley have also monitored his situation, but Arsenal now won the race.

It is unlikely that Wright will be installed directly in Mikel Areteta’s first team, over time in an elite academy to support its development.

Instead, he is expected to die his football between Arsenals U-18 and U-21S next season.

Wright can also play for the Gunners in the UEFA Youth League next season because teams record the U-19 teams.

His outcome in Salford will be a big blow for the plans of Neville and Beckham for the club after publishing 17 players at the end of the season.

The duo previously held a share in the club together with its ex-champion United teammate in Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.

Beckham was the last class of ’92 star who bought a participation in the club, in 2019 – five years after his friends were folded to buy the club.

After the decision of the former majority of the shareholder Peter Lim to travel in 2024, Beckham and Gary Neville have taken control since then, with their old teammates returning their property.
