For Liverpool, the loan market has been a fruitful one for a number of years in terms of nurturing their younger talent. Last season young Reds midfielder Tyler Morton enjoyed a strong campaign in the Championship for Blackburn Rovers, the same club where Harvey Elliott had shone two years previous during a season-long stint in English football’s second tier.
In previous years the Championship has seen players such as Harry Wilson ply their trade on loan, with his spells at Hull City, Derby County, AFC Bournemouth, Cardiff City and Fulham helping him both gain experience as well as protecting, and raising, his resale value that the club would eventually realise last summer when they sold him to Fulham in a £12m deal.
According to insights by sports business website Off The Pitch, it is the Championship that offers clubs the best opportunity to grow the value of their players out on loan when compared to the kind of growth seen by sending out to European clubs to gain experience.
