Lyon midfielder Tyler Morton has been linked with a move away from the Ligue 1 club in recent weeks, with Premier League clubs keen.
As per an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Crystal Palace, Tottenham, and Newcastle United are interested in Tyler Morton, but the Ligue 1 outfit do not want to sell him. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League clubs decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks.
Morton will certainly be attracted to the idea of competing in the Premier League. The opportunity to join clubs like Tottenham will be exciting for him. He would get to compete in Europe with them and fight for trophies.
Spurs need more control in the middle of the park, and the 23-year-old could be ideal for them. The former Liverpool midfielder is highly talented, and he has a bright future. He could develop into a key player in the right team.
Crystal Palace and Newcastle United keen on Morton
Crystal Palace also need someone who can control the tempo of the game alongside Adam Wharton. Morton seems like the ideal acquisition for them. Working with Oliver Glasner could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. It remains to be seen whether they decide to come forward with an offer to get the deal done.
Finally, Newcastle United need more depth in the middle of the park as well, and they have their sights set on Morton. The Magpies have quality midfielders at their disposal, but they are competing in the UEFA Champions League. They need a deeper squad with more options.
Tyler Morton would be a superb long-term acquisition for them. Newcastle United have an ambitious project and they are fighting for trophies. The opportunity to join the Tyneside outfit will be exciting for the former Liverpool player.
The Englishman will feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League, and he will look to prove himself at a higher level. A move to England could be ideal for him in January. It will be interesting to see if the three clubs are willing to come forward with an acceptable offer.
Lyon paid £15 million to sign the player, and they will look to make a significant profit on him if they are forced to sell him in January. However, for now, the Ligue 1 giants are eager to keep hold of the former Liverpool midfielder.
