Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton admits his family convinced him to leave Everton.

Morton was a junior player with Everton before making the change.

He said at his England U21 presser, "I played for Everton when I was younger, when I was a kid. I really enjoyed my time to be honest, even though I'm a Red.

So yeah, I played for Everton when I was younger. I think I was four or five until about seven. It was very young but I still weirdly remember it.

It kind of got to that decision when you're seven years of age and you pick a team. I picked Liverpool. Yeah (my family are), all Reds. I don't think I had a choice to be honest!

I'm looking forward to it (playing at Goodison). I'm not a bitter person you see, like a lot of them. I'm excited, really excited.

Finch Farm is a good training facility and brings back memories as well from when I was younger. It's lovely and I get to see people that I know because I know a few of the Everton lads. It's brilliant for me."
