Liverpool have only sought to tighten its grip on the Premier League after Arne Slot’s stunning debut season delivered a historic 20th league crown for the club.

Unlike last summer’s cautious window – where only Federico Chiesa arrived as a headline addition -the Reds have thrown off the shackles and gone big in this year’s market.

The reigning champions have already welcomed eight new faces to the squad, with their transfer spending now pushing close to £280million.

The big money has been splashed on standout names like Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Hugo Ekitike, underlining Liverpool’s all-out push to maintain their dominance at the summit of English football.

But naturally, some exits will have to happen to keep squad numbers under control.

DaveOCKOP.com exclusively revealed on Tuesday that AC Milan are expected to make an offer for Darwin Nunez.

They may look for a loan with a buy obligation due to the finances of a potential deal.

And now another transfer exit is all but confirmed.

Liverpool academy graduate Tyler Morton will complete his transfer to Olympique Lyon later today according to Dominic King of the Daily Mail.

The reporter also suggested West Ham missed out on a big opportunity while highlighting West Ham historical interest in Harvey Elliott:

“Tyler Morton will complete his move to Lyon later today, a fantastic opportunity for him at a great club,” he wrote on X

“Big miss for West Ham, who sat motionless for 2 weeks after making initial contact.”

“West Ham had indicated they would do a double deal for Morton & Harvey Elliott.”

On Monday, the midfielder successfully completed his medical

He will seal a five-year deal that offers the 22-year-old a fresh start in one of Europe’s Top Five Leagues.

The midfielder made his senior debut in an EFL Cup tie in 2021 before earning a handful of Premier League minutes under Jurgen Klopp during the 2021–22 campaign.

A season-long loan at Blackburn Rovers followed in 2022-23, where Morton logged more than 30 Championship appearances and demonstrated his box-to-box engine.

Another loan followed at Hull City the 2023/24 campaign, before being under utilised by Arne Slot this past campaign.

Morton was limited to just five appearances in all competitions – three in the EFL Cup, and one apiece in the FA Cup and Champions League – which left him frustrated after previously featuring regularly during loan spells.
