Hammers speak out on Ravel reports

Ravel Morrison’s hopes that a return to the Irons may be on next January have hit a brick wall inside the club.

With Lazio ready to let the midfielder out on loan in the next transfer window after he has failed to nail down a regular frst team place, speculation has been rife that the player could make a Hammers return.

And he even hinted on Instagram in a post recently that it was a possibility in his usual enigmatic style.

A follower had said: “Actually so want @ravel1 to come back to us” and the player responded by declaring: “Future plans.”

Given that he had no need to respond at all, much has been read into it but a Hammers insider made it clear that no such possibility existed.

ClaretandHugh was told: “We’ve been there and done that – we have good creative midfielders and there’s no chance of us going back for Ravel – even on loan.

“We  have many good midfielders but are light in other areas and those are the ones will are likely to look at in January.”
