Despite earlier interest from clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen last season, Morton remained at Anfield to support Liverpool&#8217;s squad depth during their title-winning campaign.<\/p>\n<p>However, his playing time was limited, featuring in only five matches across all competitions, without making an appearance in the Premier League. According to The Athletic, Morton is now waiting for Liverpool&#8217;s approval to travel to France for a medical examination, signaling an imminent move.<\/p>\n<p>With competition in midfield from players like Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, and Dominik Szoboszlai, Morton\u2019s decision to seek first-team opportunities elsewhere is understandable. He was part of England&#8217;s Under-21 European Championship-winning team this summer and will follow academy teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jarell Quansah in leaving Liverpool to continue their careers in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyler Morton is set to join Lyon from Liverpool for \u00a315 million, seeking more first-team action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175],"tags":[182,499],"class_list":["post-1062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-liverpool","tag-transfers","tag-tyler-morton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1065,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions\/1065"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
