Morrison off to Rome

Ravel Morrison has flown to Rome and looks set to finally put pen to paper on a pre-contract with Italian club Lazio assuming he passes a medical.

Because he has already played for two clubs this season – West Ham and Cardiff City, he is not permitted to play for a third club meaning he will have to wait until the summer before he can wear a Lazio shirt.

West Ham will continue to pay Ravel Morrison’s wages of £15,000 per week until the end of his contract in the summer adding another £300,000 to the player who will leave on a free transfer.
