"Morton's form in Ligue 1 also has him on the radar of clubs like Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, but I'm reliably told that Newcastle currently seem to be leading the race for his signature. Tyler Morton to Newcastle as Sandro Tonali leaves? Tyler Morton in action for Lyon (Photo by Lars Baron/Getty Images) Although it's only come out in the last few days, the prospect of Sandro Tonali leaving Newcastle is very real and not a recent thing, one source explained."
"Morton is someone Newcastle know well and they've done some work on. He only joined Lyon last summer but their finances mean they'd have to consider offers. Newcastle sense an opportunity for a possible bargain there. Morton has previously been described as exceptional by former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and he can probably count himself a bit unlucky that he didn't end up getting more opportunities during his time at Anfield."
Newcastle United have been preparing for Sandro Tonali's potential exit and have identified Tyler Morton of Lyon as a top target to replace him in midfield. Morton impressed at Lyon this season after emerging as a youngster at Liverpool, attracting interest from Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Newcastle currently appear to be leading the race for his signature and view Morton as a potential bargain given Lyon's financial situation. Morton has played 28 games in all competitions this season and may be reluctant to leave so soon, but a guaranteed key role at Newcastle could prompt a move back to the Premier League.
