Ravel Morrison primed for Birmingham City loan

West Ham United midfielder Ravel Morrison is to sign a loan deal with Birmingham City, according to reports.

The Birmingham Mail understands that Morrison will complete a loan move to St. Andrews on Monday as he searches for regular first-team football.

Morrison made just one league appearance for the Hammers last season, coming on as a substitute against Leeds United in March.

The 19-year-old joined West Ham in January after leaving Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.

A highly-rated prospect and England youth international, Morrison could make his debut for Lee Clark's Blues against Barnet in the Captial One Cup on Tuesday, August 14.
