"Morton, a product of Liverpool's academy, rose steadily through the ranks after joining the club at a young age. His senior breakthrough came in 2021, when Jurgen Klopp handed him opportunities in both the Premier League and Champions League. Despite impressing with his composure and range of passing, Morton never managed to secure consistent minutes at Anfield due to fierce competition in midfield."
"To accelerate his development, Liverpool sent him on successive loan spells, first to Blackburn Rovers, where he thrived as a deep-lying playmaker, and then to Hull City, where he continued to impress as one of the Championship's top young midfielders. However, under Arne Slot last season, regular first-team opportunities remained limited, prompting Morton to seek a permanent move for the sake of his career."
"French media have highlighted Morton as one of Lyon's most consistent performers in what has otherwise been a turbulent season for the club, both on and off the pitch. Despite his strong start in Ligue 1, Crystal Palace believe Morton could be tempted back to England. Lyon are experiencing ongoing financial difficulties, and a substantial offer could force the club to consider a sale."
Crystal Palace are monitoring Tyler Morton as a potential long-term signing while tracking his performances at Olympique Lyonnais. Morton came through Liverpool's academy and made senior appearances in 2021 under Jurgen Klopp, showing composure and range of passing but failing to secure regular minutes. Loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City saw him excel as a deep-lying playmaker and one of the Championship's top young midfielders. Limited opportunities under Arne Slot prompted a permanent move to Lyon, where he has been consistently rated despite a turbulent season. Palace value his energy, technique and potential fit under Oliver Glasner.
