Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton has joined Ligue 1 club Lyon on a five-year contract, the French outfit announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old arrives from the Premier League champions for a fee of 10 million euros ($11.6 million).<\/p>\n
“Olympique Lyonnais announce the arrival of midfielder Tyler Morton from Liverpool. The English youth international has signed a five-year contract, which will run until June 30, 2030,” Lyon wrote in a statement on the club’s website.<\/p>\n
Morton joined Liverpool’s academy at the age of seven and signed his first professional contract with the Reds at the age of 17.<\/p>\n
He made 14 appearances for the first team and spent two loan periods in the English second division — at Blackburn and Hull.<\/p>\n
Capped 13 times at under-21 level for England, Morton was a central figure as the team were crowned European champions in June.<\/p>\n
The defensive midfielder was responsible for setting up the winning goal in the final against Germany with a pinpoint cross onto the head of Jonathan Rowe.<\/p>\n
