Tyler Morton ‘to be delighted’ amid Liverpool exit developments – Exclusive
Tyler Morton could leave Liverpool this summer.
The 22-year-old made just five appearances for the Anfield outfit last season and did not feature in a single Premier League match.
Three matches in the Carabao Cup, and one a piece in the Champions League and FA Cup were all that Morton was afforded, despite his talent being clear.
An exit never materialised, but that could change amid the latest developments.
Morton tipped to make West Ham move
Morton has been linked with a move to West Ham, as Graham Potter seeks a potential double swoop involving Harvey Elliott.
Ian Darke believes that would be a really solid option for the Merseyside-born star, who has proven his abilities despite limited opportunities.
Speaking exclusively to Liverpool News, he said: “Yeah, I think it would be a really good move for him, he starred in that England Under-21 triumph, didn’t he, and I think he showed there that he is ready to be in someone’s first team.
“Obviously, it is not going to be Liverpool’s, whether it is a loan move or a permanent move, I would have thought he would be delighted if he could be part of the first team set-up at another club in the Premier League.
“Liverpool would probably want to get some money through the door for him at this point, unless they thought in two years with a couple of Premier League loans, he might be a first-team player, but I don’t think that is the case.”
Liverpool should let Morton move on
Morton was highly rated by Jurgen Klopp, but it seems that he has not made the same impression on Arne Slot.
He is a brilliant talent, and if he does depart, somebody will get an unbelievable talent for quite a decent fee.
It is a shame that it has not worked out for him in L4, but he needs senior football, and it does not seem like he will get it with the Reds.
It is time for both parties to move on, unless Slot has a dramatic change of heart, which seems unlikely at this point.
