Ravel Morrison is a wanted man.

The 25-year-old is still bouncing from club to club with another transfer muted.

He's enjoyed a loan spell at Mexican side Atlas Guadalajara from Lazio, playing games and scoring goals but his parent club are set to offload the ex-Manchester United academy star.

His contract at the Italian club expires at the end of the season, and it's believed they're looking to sell Morrison in January with a loan or permanent switch on the cards.

And it appears Ostersunds FKS want to snap up Morrison ahead of the next Swedish season according to reports from Sky Sports.

Morrison sealed a move to Serie A by completing a free transfer from West Ham United in 2015.

But he's struggled at Lazio, featuring in just four league games.

Though Morrison showed a glimpse of his ability in Mexico, weighing in with four goals.

He's clearly a player filled with potential.

Rio Ferdinand was asked about how good Morrison was and he dropped a huge compliment.

"I was at [United] when he was there," he said.

"Probably the most gifted, the most naturally gifted young kid I've ever seen.

"Sir Alex Ferguson, I remember, he called me and Wazza [Wayne Rooney] over one day and said: 'look at this kid, he's better than you, Rooney when you were a kid, he's better than you, Rio, better than Ryan Giggs when you were kids. This is the best kid you will ever see.'"

Here's hoping Morrison can live up to his potential at Ostersunds FKS if a transfer transpires.
