A report claims that Hull City will move for Lazio's unwanted midfielder Ravel Morrison in the January transfer window.

Hull City will reportedly move for Lazio outcast Ravel Morrison in the January transfer window.

Morrison, who was widely regarded as one of the best youngsters in English football during his time at Manchester United, has not made a single appearance for his Italian club this season.

Lazio denied reports that the midfielder had gone AWOL last week in a bid to force a move away from the Serie A outfit, but the 23-year-old is still expected to leave in the January transfer window.

A number of clubs have been credited with an interest, but according to The Sun, Hull City boss Mike Phelan, who worked with Morrison at Man United, is at the head of the queue.

Morrison is under contract at Lazio - the club he joined on a free in 2015 - until June 2019, although it is understood that he will be available for £600,000 in January.
