Liverpool are set to save millions thanks to Arne Slot's decision to promote youngster Trey Nyoni to the first team.

Tyler Morton completed a £15million transfer to Lyon on Tuesday, ending his 15-year stint with the Anfield club.

That transfer paved the way for Nyoni to step up in place of the 22-year-old.



Slot referenced Nyoni's emergence last week when discussing the buzz around Ngumoha's impressive displays during the pre-season tour of China.

It is nice to see young players at 16, 17 or 18 impact the game."

Meanwhile, Nyoni revealed to club media in May his desire to play a more significant part in Liverpool's future successes after featuring in five matches under Slot last season.
