Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs keeping a close on Tyler Morton, who is shining with Lyon in Ligue ever since he was sold by the Reds. Lyon paid Liverpool £15m for Morton, but would have to pay a lot more than that now to get him back.

Now, TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool are considering a “shock” return for the 23-year-0ld, but face competition from six other Premier League clubs, with Morton’s displays in Ligue 1 attracting a lot of interest. Former Liverpool starlet Tyler Morton is generating a huge amount of interest as his excellent form with Lyon continues, with the Reds among a plethora of sides alerted by his performances, though, as sources have told @TEAMtalk .https://t.co/Ey4wArioE2 — Graeme Bailey (@GraemeBailey) September 24, 2026 Graeme Bailey reports: “Tyler Morton is generating a huge amount of interest as his excellent form with Lyon continues, with the Reds among a plethora of sides alerted by his performances, though Andoni Iraola’s side is among SEVEN Premier League sides now keeping tabs on the midfielder.” Regarding Liverpool specifically, the journalist says: “Liverpool have continued to monitor Morton’s progress and club sources admit he is someone they are keeping tabs on, with his form in France even leading to suggestions that the midfielder could eventually return to Anfield.

However, Liverpool are not alone in their admiration of Morton, and sources insist up to seven Premier League sides are keeping tabs on his progress and could be tempted to launch a bid as soon as the January window opens for business in just 99 days’ time…” Morton was always said to have a bright future at Liverpool before he left the club, with Jordan Henderson hailing him as “brilliant” back in 2021, and he was only an 18-year-old. Even if he doesn’t return to Anfield, it would be great to see Morton back in the Premier League because he is such an entertaining and graceful player to watch.
