There’s no mention of Arsenal there, but Jacobs notes that several other Premier League clubs have also shown an interest in this exciting young talent.
Liverpool’s busy summer transfer window continues
It’s been a busy summer of new signings so far for LFC, who have brought in Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez.
On top of that, outlets such as the Athletic and the Telegraph are linking Liverpool with a serious interest in signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
If Liverpool could also bring in the highly-rated Wright on top of all that, they’d be building a truly superb squad for the present and future.
