Ravel Morrison has joined Queens Park Rangers on loan from Lazio until the end of this season.
Queens Park Rangers director of football Les Ferdinand has told the Kilburn Times that Ravel Morrison was not on Ian Holloway’s transfer wishlist, before the midfielder asked for a move to Loftus Road.
Morrison has joined QPR on loan from Lazio until the end of the season, in a transfer which has raised eyebrows.
If Morrison could hit top form, he could become one of the most exciting players in the Championship.
And Ferdinand is hopeful that Rangers’ move for the controversial midfielder will pay off.
“He wasn’t really on our radar [in this window] but his representatives got in touch with Ollie, and it went from there,” Ferdinand said.
“It’s a loan, so if doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the world but I really hope it does as he’s such an outstanding talent.”
Morrison’s development has stalled ever since his move to Lazio, as he has barely featured for the Serie A side.
The former Manchester United and West Ham United man has returned to England looking to revive his career.
Morrison appeared to be one of the brightest talents in the country at one stage, during his time at West Ham, but his attitude has been called into question.
Morrison is yet to make his QPR debut, but he could feature against Huddersfield Town at the weekend.
