Queens Park Rangers 'fancy' Ravel Morrison loan

Queens Park Rangers are reportedly interested in signing West Ham United's England Under-21 international Ravel Morrison on loan.

The former Manchester United attacking midfielder was a regular for the Hammers at the start of the season but has struggled recently with a groin injury.

According to PA, Championship side QPR are looking at a loan for Morrison, who, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce believes, is facing "severe competition" for a place in his side.

"He has to realise now everybody is fit there is severe competition here, especially with the new [January signings] as well," said Allardyce.

Morrison has scored three Premier League goals this campaign, the same number he netted while on loan with Birmingham City in the Championship last season.
