Tyler Morton, a 21-year-old midfielder, has had a remarkable season at Blackburn two years ago and at Hull City last season. Having proved his ability in the Championship, the time is approaching for the player to take the next step up.
New manager Arne Slott is expected to carry out an evaluation of the youngster in pre-season, but ahead of that, several clubs have expressed interest in the England U-21 midfielder.
Among the most keen are Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, with Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg predicting a move is likely to happen.
“RB Leipzig, still interested to sign Tyler Morton from Liverpool.”
“Concrete talks took place.”
“Leipzig, pushing for a loan with an option to buy. Liverpool, not interested in this loan structure.”
“The 21 y/o can really imagine to join RB now. But no agreements yet.”

The young midfielder, who also featured on the pitch in nine games for Liverpool’s first team, made a number of appearances at Hull City, where he was on loan last season, with 41 games.
Is he ready to play at a high level and will he be a regular contender at Anfield in the new season, or will he step up to the challenge at another club…
