Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has insisted that former Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton should be playing for one of the best clubs in the world.Morton has excelled at Lyon since leaving Liverpool last year having been denied opportunities by Arne Slot.And according to Scott, who is having his own excellent season with the Cherries, the 23-year-old is already an ‘unbelievable’ player who could get even better.

Obviously, it was tough in a team that was doing so well going for the league.“In his head, I think it was time to move on and play first-team football,” Scott added.“He was playing a lot of 21s football as well, but a player of his standard needs to be playing week in, week out, for one of the top teams in the world.

I speak to him quite a lot, he is an unbelievable guy. I’m so, so happy that he’s doing so well.“Liverpool do not have a buyback clause on Morton, but if he continues to do well with Lyon for another year or two, it is easy to see the Reds coming back in to sign him.
