Liverpool will be open to cashing in on 22-year-old English midfield prospect Tyler Morton in the summer transfer window amid his links with West Ham United.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tyler Morton is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 22-year-old Liverpool whizkid has emerged as a target for the East London outfit.
The Hammers are “actively pursuing” the Englishman’s signature, and they are “eager to finalise the deal in the coming weeks”. Meanwhile, Liverpool will entertain bids to part ways with Morton in the summer transfer window, slapping a price tag of £16 million on the highly-rated midfield prospect.
Tyler Morton and his career so far
Tyler Morton quickly became one of the most highly-rated midfielders in his homeland after breaking into the first-team squad at Liverpool FC. However, the Wallasey native has struggled to stamp his authority after a solid start, even though he has enjoyed promising loan spells away from Anfield. Meanwhile, fitness issues plagued the 22-year-old in the 2024/25 season.
The English midfield prospect barely featured for Liverpool in the 2024/25 season, managing only 261 minutes of game time across five appearances in all competitions. However, Morton remains sought-after in the market, with several well-known clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. West Ham United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
London calling?
West Ham United’s interest in Tyler Morton makes sense. The Hammers are combing the market for a versatile midfielder this summer after Carlos Soler’s underwhelming loan spell ended. In addition, Guido Rodriguez failed to make their mark in his debut season, while recent reports have linked Tomas Soucek with a move away from West Ham United.
So, several candidates, including Douglas Luiz, have emerged on West Ham United’s radar, with Morton also a viable target. The latest update has boosted the East London club’s prospects, with Liverpool open to cashing in on the 22-year-old Englishman in the summer transfer window for £16 million.
While Liverpool’s price tag of £16 million makes Morton an appealing target, West Ham will aim to wrap up the deal “in the coming weeks”. The Hammers are “actively pursuing” the English midfield prospect, and it will be interesting to see if they fork out £16 million to sign him from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
