The 21-year-old Liverpool academy product turned heads with his performances for Blackburn Rovers during a loan spell last season.

 

Liverpool sent Morton out on loan once again, to Hull City, this summer and the defensive midfielder has established himself as a regular in Liam Rosenior’s Tigers team.

 

 

 

Morton’s performances for Hull have earned him a call-up from the England Under-21 side and Carsley admitted that the Liverpool player is highly rated by his national team set-up.

 

Carsley pointed out that Morton is different from other players in his position as he is a defensively minded player.

 

 

“Tyler’s a player that we know all about”, Carsley was quoted as saying by Hull Live.

 

“We had him involved with us last campaign.

 

 

“He’s a player we rate highly.

 

“It’s a difficult squad to get into and stay in.

 

“I think he’s a bit different to any other kind of players that we’ve got in terms of he’s a bit more defensively natural in that position.”

 

England Under-21s will take on Serbia and Northern Ireland during the international break and Morton will be eyeing a spot in Carsley’s starting line-up for those games.

 

Liverpool and Hull meanwhile will be hoping he avoids injury.
