Newcastle & Bristol turn down Ravel

Former Hammer Ravel Morrison is being offered to Championship clubs, as the Lazio player is desperate to secure a move back to England before the transfer window closes.

Newcastle United and Bristol City are among those who are thought to have turned down the chance to sign the former Hammer.

Morrison has struggled in Italy following his free transfer from West Ham last year and is keen to return home to try to resurrect a career on home soil.

Morrison joined Lazio in 2015 on a three year deal worth £500,000 per year plus bonuses.

The midfielder joined West Ham in January 2012 costing £1m in fees and appearance bonuses. He made 24 appearances in his three years at the Club, scoring five goals.
