West Bromwich Albion should consider making a move for the Lazio man this summer.

Ravel Morrison of SS Lazio looks on before the UEFA Europa League group G match between SS Lazio and AS Saint-Etienne at Olimpico Stadium on October 1, 2015 in Rome, Italy.

West Brom boss Darren Moore has a lot of work to do at the Hawthorns this summer, if he is to guide his side back to the Premier League at the very first attempt.

One key area where the 44-year-old will want to strengthen is his attacking department, after their woefully impotent play in the final third last season ended up costing them their top flight status.

With this in mind the addition of a creative midfielder could go a long way to helping the Baggies excavate themselves from the Championship this season, and an interesting option for them could be Lazio’s Ravel Morrison.

The enigmatic 25-year-old joined Lazio on a free transfer in the summer of 2015, but he has failed to establish himself in Italy, making just seven appearances for the Serie A giants.

He has just one year remaining on his current contract with Lazio, so West Brom should be able to secure themselves a bargain by bringing him to the Hawthorns this summer.

Morrison really is a bag of tricks, and on his day, he can be unplayable.

The former Manchester United and West Ham maverick is unpredictable, and would offer Moore something totally different to what he currently possesses in his midfield department.

Whilst bringing him to West Brom would be associated with risk, his maverick playing style and undoubted ability to turn a game on its head surely makes it a worthwhile punt for the Baggies.
