Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the signing of Salford City's teenage forward Will Wright, after Liverpool ended their interest.
Mail Sport reported this week that the Gunners had checked in with the League Two club last week over Wright.
The 17-year-old had been the subject of interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Man City.
Liverpool had been in pole position with the reigning champions having lodged an offer of around £100,000 with a further £200,000 in add-ons.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool's pursuit has now ended with Arsenal pushing to secure Wright's signing.
