Tyler Morton, a 21-year-old midfielder, made 41 appearances for Hull City on loan last season and was an integral part of the team. This season he has been with the first team since pre-season and it looked as if he would be playing more for Liverpool, but at the moment he is counted from the bottom of the pecking order.
The Wallasey-born midfielder, who has been linked with a complete transfer or a loan move away, has attracted interest from Bayer Leverkusen, who won the title unbeaten last season, and will negotiate a loan move, including a purchase option, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported.
“To replace Gustavo Puerta, Bayer 04 Leverkusen now pushing to sign Tyler Morton.”
“Negotiations with Liverpool today.”
“Talks about a loan with an option/obligation to buy.”
“21 y/o midfielder is keen to join Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso.”

A promising youngster who has made nine appearances for Liverpool’s first team and scored one goal in three games for England U-21s. He has already proved his ability in the Championship and now wants to show that he can play in the top flight.
The stage is likely to be the Bundesliga rather than the Premier League, but will the young 21-year-old midfielder get the move to Leverkusen and make a fresh start in his new home…?
