Will Wright, 17, almost caps dream Liverpool debut with an Anfield goal - just after Reds beat Arsenal to sign the forward from Salford City

New Liverpool signing Will Wright came close to making an instant impression on fans just days after signing for the club.

The Premier League champions had officially announced Wright's signing from League Two side Salford City earlier on Tuesday.

The Reds had confirmed the forward had already linked up with their U21s squad last week and made his debut for the team on the weekend.

Wright was given a 16-minute cameo in the second of Liverpool's pre-season double header against Athletic Club on Monday, with the teenager coming on for Florian Wirtz.
