Liverpool recently gifted Tyler Morton a replica Premier League trophy to show their appreciation after 17 years at the club. Morton was one of eight senior players to be sold in the summer, with a £15 million deal agreed with Ligue 1’s Lyon to end his association with his boyhood club.

He is now thriving in France, but Liverpool did not forget to show their appreciation for their academy graduate, sending him a replica Premier League trophy with his name and number engraved. • READ: Endo trains separately as 23-man squad prepare for Man United Morton showed off Liverpool’s gift in an interview with SPORTbible, calling it a “really classy touch from the club.” “It was a tough season football-wise, but an amazing one off the pitch with incredible people who got me through it,” he said. The replica trophy arrived earlier this month, and while Morton did not make a league appearance last season, the gift is deserved recognition of his contribution to the team’s success.

I knew it was going to happen,” Morton admitted about his exit. “The emotions came after, when I realised I wouldn’t be playing with the lads I’ve played with all my life – like Jarell, Harvey and Conor, somebody I’ve known since 11–12.” Morton was one of six players Liverpool sold for pure profit in the summer, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ben Doak and Nat Phillips.
