West Ham United have stalled Ravel Morrison's move to Lazio.
The midfielder was expected in Rome yesterday for a Lazio medical, having already agreed terms over a pre-contract.
However, the Daily Mail reports West Ham initially blocked Morrison's trip to the Italian capital, insisting he did not have permission to fly over and would be in breach of contract if he did.
But the player's camp expects the issue to be resolved and remains confident he will be joining Lazio on a free transfer ahead of next season.
