Ravel Morrison is unsettled at Lazio

Queens Park Rangers have completed the loan signing of Ravel Morrison from Lazio until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old midfielder will stay at Loftus Road for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign, with QPR having the option to exercise a permanent agreement at the end of the season.

Morrison enjoyed a successful loan spell at QPR during the second half of the 2013/14 season, scoring six goals in 15 appearances for the R's in the Championship as they achieved promotion via the play-offs.

He spent time training with Wigan Athletic earlier this month after being invited to the club by his former United youth-team manager and current Latics boss Warren Joyce.

Morrison was tipped for a bright future in the game when he turned professional at Old Trafford at the age of 17 in February 2010.
