Swindon 'considering' further appointments following staff departures
Swindon Town are considering further appointments within their staff following a year of multiple departures from the club. The 12 months have seen many key behind-the-scenes figures leave Swindon, with Jamie Russell and Danny Rose moving to Salford City, Alex Pike to Brentford, Jamie White to Eastleigh, Baillie Coupland to Burton Albion, and Sean Wood to Reading. Some of these people have been replaced: Mark Moss came in as Academy Manager, Kirk McGinn was promoted to Under-18s manager, and Alisha Henry has arrived as Club Secretary. Whilst there has been an internal restructuring, including Ian Holloway taking on many of the responsibilities that Russell had undertaken as Head of Football, it has left many fans concerned that there are holes remaining in the club. During the meeting of the Advisory Board, a monthly meeting between the club hierarchy and stakeholder groups, the topic was broached during the fan question-and-answer portion. As part of this, a fan asked whether there was a plan to recruit more administrative staff to replace those who have departed, as their roles were now being performed by fewer people.

While it is true that several key personnel have departed, the club has acted swiftly to ensure continuity and stability by appointing highly capable replacements in key roles. 'We have recently welcomed a very experienced Club Secretary, Alisha Henry, who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the position. She will work closely with senior figures within the football department, ensuring smooth coordination across all areas of football operations. "Additionally, the appointment of a new Academy Manager—who is a like-for-like replacement—ensures that the development pathway for our young players remains a core focus and is in safe hands. 'While the backroom team has experienced change, it is by no means diminished. "Under the leadership of Ian Holloway, who continues to play an integral role in shaping the club's footballing direction, we are constantly reviewing our staffing structure to ensure it remains fit for purpose. "As part of this ongoing review, the club is actively considering whether further recruitment in football administration is necessary to strengthen support across all departments.

Liverpool set to complete deal for 40-goal striker
Liverpool could be closing in on an incredible forward who has the potential to be world-class. This is a hectic summer at Anfield with Richard Hughes looking to rebuild Arne Slot's squad to make them even more competitive next season. It's not easy to add more quality and depth to a Premier League title winning squad. However, so far the club's sporting director has delivered. The trio of new arrivals in Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong all give Slot new 'weapons' he can used to make Liverpool a formidable force. Meanwhile, in the goalkeeping department with Giorgi Mamardashvili coming in to replace Caoimhin Kelleher, Freddie Woodman replacing Vitezslav Jaros and Armin Pecsi replacing Harvey Davies, the Reds have upgraded all three of their previous options. Mamardashvili in particular has the ability to be fighting for the no.1 spot alongside Alisson. Woodman's experience will be crucial and Pecsi is a goalkeeper with a lot of potential for the future. Obviously, Hughes' work is not done yet. He's doing everything he can to make Liverpool even stronger. That's one of the reasons why Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Will Wright as per a recent report. At first glance Wright is probably a name you haven't heard of, but don't let that fool you, this is another shrewd move from the Reds. Wright scored over 40-goals at academy level for Salford City last season. He's a goal-machine and at 16-years-old he was already playing at senior level for the club, including making his debut in the FA Cup against Manchester City last season. He's now 17-years-old and has four goals in his last three pre-season matches for Salford's first team, and it looks like he's bound for Anfield. On paper, this is a significant addition that will bolster not only Slot's options but the club's U21 team as well with Wright likely initially being given a role in the academy as well. He's an incredible forward. If you watch the range of goals he has scored at academy level you can see the raw finishing quality. At Liverpool he will become even better. Especially because he'll be able to learn from not only some of the best coaches in the game but the best players as well. Whether that will include Alexander Isak, remains to be seen. Clearly, he's the other main striker being targeted by the Reds. However, Newcastle United seem reluctant to sell him given that he is considered the club's best player. Nonetheless, with both sides also in for Hugo Ekitike, it seems like Liverpool will be bringing in another no.9 and whoever that striker will be is someone Wright will be able to learn a lot from. Ultimately, Hughes has outdone himself again. Wright's quality on display in the small snippets we have seen plus the fact that he was only the second 16-year-old to play in the FA Cup last season - the other one was Rio Ngumoha - just goes to show what an incredible talent Liverpool look to have signed. All credit to Hughes and the club's recruitment team again.

Arsenal 'pushing to complete deal for Salford City wonderkid' - as Premier League rivals Liverpool 'withdraw from race for teenage forward'
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. The forward has reportedly been targeted as part of Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker's push to sign elite talent, with the former defender given a budget to strengthen their youth teams. Wright would reportedly feature for both Arsenal's Under-21s and 18s if he signs for the club Wright would reportedly feature for both the Under-18s and 21s should he move to Arsenal and continue his progress. The teenager scored in Salford's friendly at York City last Friday, his fourth goal in a week, before the game was abandoned after a Salford player was allegedly racially abused. Arsenal scouts had been in attendance at the match to watch Wright. Wright netted his fourth goal in a match, following a brace against FC United of Manchester and an effort against Ashton United, with both games ending in 2-2 draws. The forward made his senior debut as a late substitute in Salford's 8-0 defeat by Man City in the FA Cup in January. He has since made three more appearances for the club's first team.
