Tyler Morton is a product of Liverpool training and has made 14 appearances for the first team. Last season, the 22 -year -old only participated in 5 matches and never used in the Premier League, the tournament that the “Red Brigade” won the championship.
Since its first launch in September 2021, Morton was mainly loaned in Championship, in turn in Blackburn Rovers and Hull City. Those experiences help him gain experience and develop regularly.
Notably, Morton left a bold impression on the U21 Euro championship last summer of England. Morton came from the bench in the final against Germany and made a decision to make a decision in extra time, bringing the only goal to help “young lion” to the European championship.
On the side of Lyon, the French team has just won the right to stay in Ligue next season after winning the lawsuit in the legal battle against the relegation sentence due to violation of financial regulations. Reciting a young young talent like Morton is a testament to the ambiguous and rising ambition of the Groupama field team.
