Lyon sign Liverpool midfielder Morton for £15m

Tyler Morton, a midfielder from Liverpool, has been signed for £15 million by Lyon.

Morton made his senior debut at Liverpool’s academy in 2021 after joining the club at age seven.

The 22-year-old struggled to make a regular first team appearance, making 14 appearances across all competitions, and loaning time with Hull and Blackburn in the Championship.

He assisted England’s under-21 team win the European Championship earlier this summer.

Lyon’s poor financial situation earlier this summer led to their reinstatement to Ligue 1, but they were successful in appealing.

Following their title win in 2024-2019, Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made a significant investment in the squad during the off-season, spending more than £250 million on new players.

It is crucial to work with players, especially those who have graduated from the academy, to ensure that they adhere to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations (PSR).
