Tyler Morton transfer: Liverpool exit on cards after enquiries made
Tyler Morton could leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window after enquiries were made for the midfielder.
The 22-year-old has hardly played for the Reds since returning from his Hull City loan last season.
Morton’s career at Anfield has stagnated, and his recent injury hasn’t helped his cause either, with the youngster failing to get many opportunities.
Arne Slot has relied on Ryan Gravenberch as his number six, leaving the likes of England youth international struggling for game time.
Liverpool transfer exit expected for Morton
Morton is expecting to push for an exit from the Merseyside outfit this summer, according to Liverpool Echo.
The news outlet reports (2 March) that the 22-year-old wants to leave the Reds once he returns from the sidelines.
| Competition (2024/25) | Appearances |
| Premier League | 0 |
| Champions League | 1 |
| Carabao Cup | 3 |
| FA Cup | 1 |
It has been claimed that several clubs made enquiries for the English youngster last year, but he ended up staying at Anfield.
Morton came up through the Liverpool academy, and whether he will leave on loan or a permanent transfer remains to be seen.
Slot has big decision to make at Anfield
Slot wasn’t afforded many signings at Anfield in the previous two transfer windows and has had to make do with the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutch manager was expected to struggle in his first season at the Reds but has surprised many with what he has been able to achieve so far.
Federico Chiesa was the only arrival at the Merseyside outfit this season, with some players like Morton returning from their loans.
Slot has had a core group of players play for him throughout the current campaign, leading to very few opportunities for squad players.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see several players wanting to leave Anfield at the end of the season, which will arguably lead to a need for investment in the squad.
Slot has been somewhat lucky that he hasn’t had to deal with many injury issues to his influential players, but the Reds will evidently need a strong squad to retain their success next season.
Morton has been one of the unlucky stars who has had to bide his time on the bench at Anfield, and it would arguably be best for both parties to find a solution soon.
