RAVEL MORRISON is back at QPR after they agreed a deal for his return from Lazio.

The Championship club have agreed to take the one-time whizzkid on loan with a view to a permanent switch at the end of the season.

Former Manchester United trainee Morrison had been training with Wigan but has decided that a switch to Loftus Road is the right one to reignite his stuttering career.

Serie A giants Lazio want to recoup some of the money they spent on the 23-year-old but appear happy for now to get him off their wage bill.

Morrison had a brief spell with the west London side in the 2013/14 campaign, bagging six goals in 15 appearances for the Rs.

It was claimed earlier in the day that talks between him and QPR boss Ian Holloway had broken down due to his wage demands by a Sky Sports journalist.

But the ex-West Ham star took to Twitter to quickly dismiss those claims to suggest that confirmation of his move was imminent.

Morrison tweeted in response: "I didn't no you could demand more wages on a loan deal [sic]".

The playmaker has yet to feature for Lazio this season.
