# Liverpool: Tyler Morton set for Blackburn loan move

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) youngster Tyler Morton is set to seal a loan move to [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/) side Blackburn Rovers, reliable journalist Paul Joyce has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Morton an exciting prospect

The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season for the Reds last term, [making nine appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyler-morton/alletore/spieler/618494) in all competitions, including being handed a start away to Tottenham in the Premier League.

Morton impressed with his quality and composure in midfield, with Jurgen Klopp [describing](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/league-cup/2021-2022/if-he-gets-a-body-he-s-a-brilliant-footballer-jurgen-klopp-praise-for-liverpool-youngster-tyler-mort_sto8605206/story.shtml) him as both ‘outstanding’ and a ‘brilliant footballer’, highlighting his potential.

It now looks as though the teenager will be heading out on loan, in order to gain some more regular first-team experience.

### The Latest: Youngster set for Blackburn switch

According to [*The Times*](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/liverpool-striker-darwin-nunez-answers-his-critics-with-four-goals-in-45-minutes-kgdqhhw2k)‘ Joyce, Morton is on the verge of joining Blackburn on a season-long loan deal, as he drops down a division for a year.

The report states that the Englishman is ‘keen’ to play regularly in order to aid his development, rather than struggling for playing time at Liverpool.

### The Verdict: Perfect experience

This is an ideal move for Morton, allowing him to grow as a footballer and enjoy being a key man at a young age, much like Harvey Elliott did at Blackburn back in 2020/21.

The latter excelled at Ewood Park and really went up a gear, scoring [seven times and registering 11 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/363982/History/Harvey-Elliott) in the Championship, and the hope is that Morton will shine, too.

The midfielder is a different player to Elliott of course, often excelling in a deep-lying midfield role, keeping possession and mopping up around him. But, if he can perform all the same in a physically demanding league, it is sure to do wonders for his chances of making a serious challenge at playing time under Klopp.
