Harry Redknapp hopeful over Ravel Morrison deal

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed that he intends to sign West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison on loan.

The 21-year-old, who is said to have been monitored by two other Championship clubs, has been linked with a move to Loftus Road this week.

"We're hoping to take Ravel Morrison on loan from West Ham for the rest of the season," Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"He's a fantastic talent and could make all the difference. He seems a decent lad and a talented footballer.

"He has got to do it now. Hopefully he can come here and do it consistently. I'm looking forward to having him here."

The former Manchester United player has scored five goals in 21 appearances for the Hammers this season.
