Tyler Morton, a 20-year-old midfielder, was discovered as a talent at the academy and has made appearances for the first team, mainly in cup competitions. At the time, his composure and precise positioning made him look like a teenager, and he was touted as a potential successor to Fabinho.
Last season, he prioritized playing time and spent a year on loan at Blackburn. He played 40 league games for the club, which finished seventh in the championship, and steadily gained experience, but an injury at the end of the season forced him to end his loan early.
He continued to focus on recovering from his injury this summer and did not play in pre-season. Fabinho and Jordan Henderson left, but 18-year-old midfielder Stefan Bajcetic was lively last season, and James McConnell responded to his call-up with impressive play in pre-season.
The young midfielder, who is expected to see limited playing time at Liverpool this season as well, is once again attracting interest from Championship clubs and could spend a second consecutive season in the league, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The young midfielder has been a regular and impressive performer for Blackburn, and depending on how well he performs in friendly matches, a first-team spot was not entirely out of the question.
Unfortunately, injury denied him that possibility, but two consecutive seasons in the Championship would finally make it impossible for Jurgen Klopp to ignore his presence.
Ideally, Liverpool would like to loan him to one of the Premier League clubs, but a starting spot is a priority. There is no point in loaning him out if he spends most of his time on the bench, and the competition is much easier than in the top flight.
