Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton has admitted this season was tough for him after he wasn't allowed to head on loan — but wasn't played once in the Premier League by Arne Slot.

Morton, 22, is heading to the UEFA Under-21 European Championship with England next week, alongside his Liverpool teammates Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah.

All three of the trio remain highly rated, but none got the minutes they desired this season with more senior options at Anfield preferred.

"I think it's been the toughest season mentally for me," Morton told the Daily Mail.

"Obviously, I've coped with it very well because I've got good people around me, but it's been very tough.

"I think I've coped with it as well as I possibly could.

It's tough, especially when, in my opinion, I wanted to go out and I wanted to play and I wanted to go on loan and get my game time.

"But having chatted with the manager, having to stay, it could have worked out a lot worse than it did.

Bayer Leverkusen was said to be among those looking at the Wirral-born midfielder last summer.

"[Slot] asked me just to be myself and to play the way he likes to play with his teams, and I think I've done that when I've played, so it's been a good season," Morton added
