Liverpool recalled former Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho, who had struggled to find playing time at RB Leipzig and was looking for another rental partner. In addition to Wolverhampton Wanderers and other Premier League clubs, Southampton and other Championship clubs were in the hunt.
The main point of contention was guaranteed playing time, with Liverpool prioritizing clubs that would allow the 21-year-old midfielder to play a number of first-team games in order to facilitate his development, and after an intense battle, an inter-club agreement was reached with Hull City, who will soon undergo a medical, according to the club, Fabrizio Romano reported.

Tyler Morton, a 21-year-old midfielder also from Liverpool, is on loan and has played 20 games this season.
Although his performance is a factor, he has been given playing time, and it is possible that his trust in the team may have contributed to the decision to bring him back.
With his place in the championship almost guaranteed, will he be able to once again prove his worth in the second division after two seasons in the league?
