Tyler Morton, the Liverpool and England U21 midfielder, has emerged as a potential target for Sheffield United this summer. The Blades are reportedly exploring a loan deal to play alongside Oli Arblaster after Vini Souza left the club.


Morton impressed during his 2022–23 loan at Blackburn Rovers (3 goals, 5 assists in 40 Championship appearances), and followed that up with a strong 2023–24 season at Hull City, making 39 appearances and scoring three goals.

Despite also being linked with a permanent switch to West Ham, Morton brings versatility and a proven Championship record - ideal for Sheffield United’s midfield needs if it is a loan move Liverpool decide is best.
