Leeds United have already been linked with one of Klopp’s kids and now a move for another could very well be on the cards.
Recently, Leeds United have been linked with a loan move for an impressive young Liverpool midfielder. That is Liverpool ace Tyler Morton. The midfielder was a part of the Liverpool squad who drew against Arsenal on Sunday (27th October) as they deal with a number of injuries.
Morton has only played a few minutes this season, coming off the bench against West Ham United in the League Cup securing a tie against Brighton in the next round.
Lacking game time, Morton was linked with a move to Leeds to help ease their midfield woes. He would bring great experience from the second tier of English football having played 79 games for Championship clubs in the last two seasons for Hull City and Blackburn Rovers.
This move could very well still take place despite Daniel Farke’s recent transfer business because of the injuries to both Ethan Ampadu and Iilia Gruev.
If Leeds do move for Morton, he may not be the only one of Klopp’s kids headed over to Elland Road in January.

Former Liverpool and Rangers star Ryan Kent has long been on Leeds United’s radar. After leaving Liverpool for Rangers, he starred for the Glasgow side against his former club in the Champions League before joining Fenerbahce.
At the time, he was delighted with the move, even saying it was an “honour” to join the side now under the command of Jose Mourinho.
“It’s an honour to be joining,” Kent said. “After speaking to the club, I’m aware of the vision and the targets for next season.
“I’m excited to start pre-season, meet my new team-mates and meet the fans.”
However, it proved an ill-fated move with the forward now set to find a new club and with interest fading from his former club Rangers, the door is wide open for Leeds United who were reportedly interested in Kent.
Now there has been a new update from the Scottish Sun via MOT claiming that Leeds admire the forward and are plotting a move for him but face competition from Leyton Orient. But it seems Leeds will make a transfer move for Kent soon.
