Lyon have completed the signing of Tyler Morton from Liverpool for a fee of £15 million. The England U21 midfielder is seeking regular first-team football after struggling to establish himself in Liverpool’s lineup under manager Jürgen Klopp. Morton’s departure is aimed at finding consistent playing time to further his development.

Despite being regarded as a promising talent, Morton was unable to break into Liverpool’s starting eleven, prompting interest from several clubs. Lyon, managed by Arne Slot, secured the deal to bolster their midfield options and add youthful energy to their squad.

Morton’s move to the French side arrives amid Lyon’s efforts to refresh their team with dynamic players who can make an immediate impact. The young midfielder's versatility and technical skills fit well with Slot’s tactical approach, which emphasizes fluid midfield play and creativity.

The transfer highlights Lyon’s ambition to compete at a higher level domestically and in European competitions by acquiring emerging talents from top leagues. For Morton, the switch represents a crucial step in his career to gain the valuable experience he lacked at Liverpool and to showcase his potential on a bigger stage.
