Championship club plotting late move for Liverpool midfielder before January transfer window closes

Championship club Middlesbrough are showing an interest in doing a late deal to sign Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton.

Morton stuck around at the Anfield club in the summer despite mass interest from sides in England and on the continent with Bayer Leverkusen one of those pushing.

However, he has hardly had a look-in aside from the Carabao Cup.

Boro, who have Liverpool’s Ben Doak on loan, are keen on him on a permanent deal. Michael Carrick’s team play rivals Sunderland on Monday night.
