Reports: West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison agrees deal to join Lazio in summer

Ravel Morrison has agreed to join Lazio in the summer

London, Jan 25 (IANS) West Ham United FC midfielder Ravel Morrison has agreed to join Lazio in the summer on a free transfer. The 21-year-old's deal expires at the end of the season and he has agreed to a contract with the Serie A side although it is yet to be signed, reported the Daily Mail.

Morrison has been in dispute with West Ham and has spent time in previous seasons at Birmingham and Queens Park Rangers. This season he joined Cardiff on a three-month loan but returned early in December. Other Premier League clubs have also enquired, but Lazio now looks to be his next club of choice.

He began his career at Manchester United but was let go on a free transfer after manager Alex Ferguson decided to wash his hands off him.

From there, he joined West Ham but has been unable to cement a first-team spot. The highly talented midfielder has failed to get his career going, thanks in most part to temperamental issues at many different levels.
