Ravel: “I want to do well for West Ham”

Ravel Morrison has issued a statement insisting he’s totally committed to life at West Ham.

The Upton Park club complained to the Premier League after Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen said midfielder Morrison wanted to sign for them.

Now 20-year-old Morrison has responded to the “frustrating” reports which are believed to be connected with stories in the national press that he is ready to go on strike.

He said: “I always try to keep my focus on the next game and show people with my performances that I want to do well for West Ham United”

Morrison :told West Ham’s website:  “I’ve been working really hard over the past few weeks to get back to full fitness after missing a couple of recent games with a groin injury.

I’m feeling fine now and I’m hoping to be involved in Saturday’s important game with Newcastle and then the Capital One Cup semi-final with Manchester City on Tuesday.”
