Lazio Bosman signing Ravel Morrison is due in Rome in the coming days.

Former West Ham United midfielder Morrison committed to Lazio in January, but cannot play for the Rome club until next season having already turned out for two different teams this term.

The Mirror reports Lazio chiefs believe it would benefit Morrison to join up early so that he can adapt to the country and maintain a regular training programme.

With that in mind Morrison has agreed to jet off to Italy this month.

The move to Italy is a chance for Morrison to start afresh after a tough time in English football.

He was one of Manchester United's brightest stars as a kid but struggled to fulfil his potential, spending loan spells with QPR and Cardiff last year before West Ham terminated his contract.
