What is a loan transfer?

A loan transfer is when a player temporarily moves to another club for a set period, usually to gain experience or playing time. The original club still owns the player. Kieran Morrison's loan to Sheffield Wednesday allows him to develop his skills in a competitive environment before potentially returning to Liverpool.
