Klopp told The Liverpool Echo about Morton: “By the way, Tyler Morton in training, incredible!
“He plays as a No.8 now, we don’t force him to play as a controlling No.6 in a Premier League game [like v Spurs].
“He’s training as an 8, and it’s like ‘wow, how good is that?!’ He’s still here.”
Promising
Tyler Morton is only 19, and it is fair to say that the Liverpool midfielder is far from the finished article.
However, the way Klopp speaks about him shows just how highly the Liverpool boss rates him.
The teenager has come through the Liverpool youth academy, and it must really please the fans to see one of their own break into the first team.
Morton will have to work hard to be in the Liverpool squad on matchdays, but he is only 19 and has time on his hand.
The teenage midfielder has made two appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Morton has made nine first-team appearances for Liverpool so far in his career.
