Named: THREE Liverpool stars who will be sold this summer | OneFootball

Morton, McConnell and Doak to be sold

Some prime academy talent could be made available - with any incoming proceeds counting as “pure profit” and providing a sizeable cash boost in the market.

According to one report in Rousing the Kop, THREE academy stars on the cusp of the first team are likely to be leaving.

“Tyler Morton, James McConnell and Ben Doak are understood to be candidates to be moved on,” reads a report in RTK.

McConnell impresses Arne Slot

Morton, 22, was tipped for a big season having returned from a successful loan spell at Hull City last term. But things didn’t work out under Arne Slot, with the midfielder finding first-team football hard to come by before getting injured.

Bayer Leverkusen were interested last summer while Middlesbrough were reported to have made a bid in January.

If McConnell is to be sold, then it would be somewhat of a shock. Slot was known to be impressed by the 20-year-old, who has played 13 times for the first team.

Indeed the Dutchman is reported to have blocked a loan deal for the midfielder in January as he wanted to retain him for the rest of the season.

He has played in the Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup this term, and has also sat on the bench four times in the Premier League.
