Ravel Morrison to join Cardiff City on loan

Cardiff City are to complete a deal to sign Ravel Morrison on loan until the end of the season. The struggling Welsh side have agreed a fee in principle with West Ham for the midfielder.

The misfit midfielder has been told he is free to leave Upton Park by manager Sam Allardyce and Cardiff City have moved swiftly to beat the likes of Millwall and Brighton and Hove Albion to his signature.

Morrison has failed to impress manager Allardyce sufficiently in recent months and thus has been told he is free to leave the club.

Cardiff City will also ensure that they have first option on a permanent deal at the end of the 2014/15 season.
