Liverpool are setting up plans for the January transfer window when the club are expected to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad.
After eight Premier League games, the Merseyside giants lead the league table with 21 points and are emerging as a contender to win the Premier League.
Liverpool want to strengthen Slot’s hands in the January transfer window and provide funds to boost the club’s chances of winning the league this season.
A defensive midfielder is on Liverpool’s agenda in the winter window but some players could be allowed to leave in the middle of the season.
The Reds are looking to sell Wataru Endo in January but there are suggestions Tyler Morton could be allowed to leave on loan in the winter window as well.
Leeds have their eyes on the 21-year-old Liverpool midfielder
Morton spent last season in the Championship on loan at Hull City and has been on the fringes of the Liverpool first-team squad this term.
He has made just one cameo appearance in the Carabao Cup and there are suggestions the Reds are open to loan offers for him in the winter window.
Football League World’s Adam Elliott believes Morton could make a real difference in the second half of a season for a promotion contender in the Championship.
He insisted that given the injuries Leeds have in the middle of the park, they need to bring in a midfielder in the winter window and the Liverpool youngster could really provide some much-needed quality to the Whites squad if he joins them in January.
“Leeds are particularly light in terms of midfield options following injuries recently sustained by Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev, and -Liverpool’s Tyler Morton could and should be an option they are considering,” Morton said.
“Currently, it is asking a lot of Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell to remain fit with the other midfield concerns seriously threatening Leeds‘ chances of success, and ultimately, promotion this season.”
