Liverpool Midfielder Tyler Morton Attracting Loan Interest from Championship Clubs

Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton is attracting loan interest from a number of Championship clubs as the Reds seek further midfield reinforcements before the end of the transfer window. The 20-year-old has recently returned to full training after recovering from surgery on a foot issue that cut short his 2022/23 season.

Morton’s Impressive Loan Spell at Blackburn Rovers

Morton starred on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season, making 40 Championship appearances before picking up his foot injury in April. Manager John Dahl Tomasson was often effusive in his praise of the youngster during his stay. It remains to be seen if the Lancashire club will push to bring him back to Ewood Park.

Morton’s Experience with Liverpool

Morton has nine senior appearances for Liverpool to his name, with two of those coming in the Premier League. His last outing in the English top-flight came in December 2021 as Jurgen Klopp threw him in to start in a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in the midst of a midfield injury crisis. Shortly after that outing, the German said of his young charge: “By the way, Tyler Morton in training, incredible! He plays as a No. 8 now, we don’t force him to play as a controlling No. 6 in a Premier League game [like against Tottenham]. He’s training as an 8, and it’s like, ‘Wow, how good is that?!’”

Conclusion

It is clear that Tyler Morton has made an impression on Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool coaching staff, and it appears that he will have the opportunity to continue his development away from Anfield on loan this season. With several Championship clubs already enquiring about taking him on a temporary deal for the coming campaign, it will be interesting to see where Morton ends up and how he performs in the second tier of English football.
