Tyler Morton Makes Permanent Move To Lyon

Tyler Morton has completed a permanent transfer to Olympique Lyonnais from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old agreed terms and finalised his switch to the Ligue 1 outfit on Tuesday.

The move brings an end to the midfielder's journey with the Reds that began at the age of seven and saw him progress through the Academy set-up to make 14 appearances for the senior team.

Morton's debut for his boyhood club arrived in September 2021 away at Norwich City in the Carabao Cup and he would go on to gain Champions League, Premier League and Emirates FA Cup experience throughout the remainder of that breakthrough campaign.

He then enjoyed successful loan spells in England's second tier with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City before returning to the Reds last summer.

Morton made five outings for Arne Slot's side across all competitions in 2024-25 as the Reds lifted the Premier League title.

He also played a key role earlier this summer for England U21s as they secured European Championship glory in Slovakia.

Liverpool's England trio help bring home the U21 title

Harvey Elliott scored and Tyler Morton assisted the winner as England lifted a second successive U21 European Championship by beating Germany 3-2 on Saturday.

A member of the Young Lions side that won the title in 2023, Elliott - who was a starter on the night alongside Liverpool teammate Jarell Quansah - delivered his fifth goal of this year’s edition of the tournament after just five minutes of play in Bratislava.

Moving onto a clearance near the edge of the opposition penalty area, the midfielder calmly placed a low finish into the bottom right corner to give his country a lead.

That advantage was doubled midway through the opening half by Omari Hutchinson, but Germany fought back to level through Nelson Weiper and Paul Nebel efforts either side of half-time.

Morton was introduced from the bench by Lee Carsley shortly before the break and, after the Germans had been denied by the woodwork in stoppage time, he was pivotal to England going back in front two minutes into extra-time.

His outstanding, first-time curling cross from the right channel found Jonathan Rowe inside the box to guide home a diving header.

That proved to be the decisive goal, making England champions again, with Germany again hitting the crossbar in added time at the end of 120 minutes.

Harvey Elliott helps England U21 Into The Final

Harvey Elliott continued his outstanding form at the U21 European Championship by scoring twice to ensure England beat the Netherlands 2-1 to reach the final.

The Liverpool midfielder’s third and fourth goals of the tournament decided Wednesday evening’s semi-final in Bratislava, where Jarell Quansah also started. Tyler Morton missed the tie due to a one-match suspension.

Elliott put the Young Lions 1-0 up shortly after the hour with a powerful, right-footed finish after he’d collected Elliot Anderson’s pass.

Noah Ohio quickly equalised for the Netherlands but, having assumed the captain’s armband following James McAtee’s substitution, Elliott produced a moment of magic to win it for the holders four minutes from time.

The Reds’ No. 19 and drove inside and then at the heart of the Dutch defence before finding the bottom corner with unerring precision.

England will now face either France or Germany in the final on Saturday night.
