In a city famed as the gastronomic capital of France, the 23-year-old is still finding his feet off the pitch, but on it he has settled seamlessly into a central role in Paulo Fonseca's resurgent side, operating at the base of midfield and dictating Lyon's play.It has been a refreshing change for the English midfielder after a difficult final season on the fringes at Anfield - one that left him searching not just for minutes but for a sense of purpose once more."I was so hungry to play again and find my love for football again," Morton reflects. I'd never been more hungry to play football in my life."For Morton, leaving his hometown club was a wrench.

I wanted to show people I could be a leader and hopefully that's what I've done."Morton arrived at Lyon at a time of significant uncertainty. Previously more of a box-to-box midfielder, he has been entrusted with the role of a number six by Fonseca, taking responsibility for organising Lyon's play from deep."The manager has given me the reins to play my football and I'm loving it," he says.

He's helped me so much. They've given me this opportunity so I'll give everything for the club and fight until the end."In a different country, in a different role, Morton has found not just his place but a new level in his game.
