Lyon seals £15m move for Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton
Lyon has signed midfielder Tyler Morton from Liverpool for £15m. The 22-year-old, born in Wirral, came through the Reds’ youth set-up at age seven and made his senior debut in 2021. He played 14 games in all competitions but found it hard to lock down a spot in the first team. Morton also spent loan spells with Hull and Blackburn in the Championship.
He heads to France after a fine run with England’s under-21 side, which won the Euro crown this summer. Lyon, who had been set to drop to Ligue 2 due to financial concerns, won their plea and will stay in Ligue 1.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has spent more than £250m on new signings following their 2024/25 league win. To stay within Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) limits, the Reds have offloaded several academy talents, with Jarrell Quansah reportedly sold to Bayer Leverkusen for £35m last month.
