Reports from England claim that Hull City are preparing to release Lazio striker Ravel Morrison from his Lazio nightmare.
 

According to The Sun, Tigers boss Mike Phelan is preparing a January assault as he looks to keep the club in the Premier League next season. The two men are familiar with each other; Morrison was a youth player at Manchester United when Phelan was on the coaching staff of Sir Alex Ferguson and the journal claims that he’s now prepared to take a gamble on a player who has never fulfilled his huge potential.
 

Since arriving at Lazio 16 months ago, the 23-year-old has played just eight times for the capital club and a host of disciplinary problems have hampered his progress in the Eternal City. It’s reported that Lazio have given Morrison permission to find another club and despite having a contract until 2019, are prepared to off-load him for around £600,000 pounds.
