Tyler Morton is the latest Liverpool youngster to go down the well-trodden path from Anfield to Blackburn Rovers.
The young midfielder is highly-rated at his parent club but they believe a temporary stint away in the Championship will aid his career development. In doing so Morton, aged 19, follows in the footsteps of fellow Reds Harvey Elliott and Leighton Clarkson. And he admits he spoke to both prior to agreeing to join Jon Dahl Tommason's side on a season-long placement.
"I’m absolutely buzzing and I can’t wait to get going at such a historic club," Morton told Blackburn's in-house media. "It’s really exciting for me and it was a very easy decision for me to make. As soon as a club with this stature comes in for you it’s something that excites. I was desperate to get the move over the line.
