Arsenal could rival Liverpool for the signing of West Ham United youngster Ravel Morrison this summer, FootballDirectNews.com understands.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Championship side Queens Park Rangers after becoming unsettled at Upton Park, despite catching the eye in the Premier League this season as well.
Morrison was known for his off-the-field problems during his days at Manchester United, where he came up through the youth ranks, but looked to have put that behind him as he started to shine under the management of Sam Allardyce this season.
His fine form at QPR suggests West Ham may have been mistaken in getting rid of him, but top clubs are seemingly on alert as his future remains uncertain ahead of the summer transfer window. Arsenal are known for their fondness in handing opportunities to talented young players, and have done well to give chances to more home-grown talents in recent seasons, with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all becoming key members of the Gunners’ first-team. Fulham were also interested in Morrison in January, while West Bromwich Albion could also be outsiders to land him this summer.
