Ravel Morrison linked with four Premier League teams

Sunderland, Burnley, Aston Villa and Everton have all been linked with a six month loan deal for Ravel Morrison. The attacking midfielder is no longer required at Upton Park and his contract will expire at the club this summer.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is desperate to get Morrison off of the payroll and saw a move to Italian club Lazio fall through yesterday.

Now it appears that the Hammers are open to a loan transfer away for Morrison and Sunderland coach Gus Poyet has already contacted Allardyce, whilst Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert is desperate to add some attacking impetus to his squad prior to the end of the transfer window.

Morrison has been told that he will never play for West Ham again.
