Liverpool to create central midfield vacancy amid transfer links with Matheus Nunes

It has long been expected that Liverpool would not be bolstering their midfield this summer, but another departure within their ranks could now change that.

Youngster Tyler Morton impressed at stages last term putting in solid displays both in the Premier League and in Europe, but is now all set to leave the Reds on loan. Jurgen Klopp is clearly keen on providing the talent of tomorrow with sufficient experience next season - 11 young academy or fringe players, including Morton, are leaving Liverpool on a temporary basis.

Morton made nine first-team appearances last term and it was widely viewed that with no midfielder coming in, the 19-year-old would kick on and become a more integral part of the first-team fold. Instead, it looks as if he'll be plying his trade with Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
