Iraola’s a big fan: Liverpool join lengthy queue to sign ‘untouchable’ Ligue 1 midfield dynamo

Liverpool are reportedly interested in re-signing midfielder Tyler Morton from French club Lyon. The 23-year-old departed Anfield for Ligue 1 roughly a year ago in a £15 million permanent deal, and Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola is understood to be an admirer of his performances. Premier League rivals Everton and Newcastle are also among several clubs monitoring the English midfielder.

Morton has established himself as a regular starter at the Groupama Stadium, starting nine of Lyon's first ten matches this season. Lyon reportedly considered the midfielder untouchable regarding potential sales during the summer transfer window, meaning any prospective suitor would likely face a substantial fee to secure a transfer.
