Liverpool fans were disappointed to see some of their club’s homegrown talents walk out the door last summer.
Leading the way was Trent Alexander-Arnold - who refused to sign a new contract and instead joined Real Madrid in a cut-price £10m deal.
Caoimhin Kelleher also left - along with promising young defender Jarell Quansah. The need to sell these players is understandable; they represent “pure profit” and those two in particular were never first choice.
But it’s never nice to have to wave goodbye to one of our own - and another boyhood Red who left without a fair chance was Tyler Morton.
Tyler Morton flourishing in Ligue 1
The midfielder made a big breakthrough on loan at Hull City during the 2023/24 season but failed to make it into Arne Slot’s plans at all during the subsequent Premier League title-winning campaign.
With his contract running down the 23-year-old was sold to Lyon for an initial £9m - representing a huge bargain for the Ligue 1 side.
Morton is now establishing himself as one of the most in-demand midfielders in Europe - and according to Sport in France he’s got Chelsea on his trail.
