Arne Slot is prepared to unveil the latest version of Thiago.

Over the summer, Liverpool entertained offers for

Tyler Morton, a promising midfielder, with a reported price tag of £20 million. It may have appeared to some to be a substantial fee for a player who had not yet been tested at the highest level, with the exception of a brief period of games under Jurgen Klopp three years ago.

Nevertheless, the caliber of the organizations associated with the homegrown Red should serve as an indication of his extraordinary potential. RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayer Leverkusen, the German champions led by Morton’s idol Xabi Alonso, were among the Bundesliga teams that were linked with his signature. Additionally, Atalanta and numerous Championship teams were rumored to be interested in the 22-year-old midfielder.It was anticipated that Morton would rise to the occasion and offer competition to Arne Slot’s team this season, following their success on loan in the second tier with Hull City last season. However, Morton has experienced a frustrating start to the season as a result of the Dutchman’s decision to deploy Ryan Gravenberch in the No.6 position, despite the fact that there is a significant amount of senior cover ahead of him. He has been a peripheral figure for the Reds, instead resuming his career with the club’s under-21 team. Morton’s career appeared to have reached a halt, with minimal or no potential for advancement to the first team.

As usual, his style was visually appealing, and he maintained his statistical dominance. Morton generated two opportunities and executed two challenges during his tenure on the field, which was the most of any Liverpool player during that period. Additionally, he facilitated Cody Gakpo’s exceptional debut goal. Additionally, he contributed two interceptions prior to receiving a well-deserved break. Thiago Alcantara, a player who is stylistically comparable to a recently retired superstar, had a satisfactory evening. Morton has been on the bench for the club’s last two Premier League fixtures. Consequently, there are fewer obstacles to his inclusion in the starting XI than one might anticipate. Morton has demonstrated that there is no reason to mistrust his ability to contribute, and Liverpool will be competing for four prizes this season. On Wednesday, he will have made a significant effort to persuade Slot of his competitive capabilities, which is advantageous for Liverpool.
