James Tomkins praises West Ham youngster Ravel Morrison
RAVEL MORRISON’s growing maturity has helped the controversial midfielder win over the West Ham dressing room, according to team-mate James Tomkins.
Going away on loan has done a lot of good for Ravel. He looks a real talent so hopefully he’ll go on from here.
Morrison, 20, pressed his claims for a first team spot by marking his first Hammers start with a goal in the 2-1 Capital One Cup win over Cheltenham.
After a season-long spell with Birmingham, hopes are high the player has put his chequered past behind him and grown up.
Tomkins said: “Going away on loan has done a lot of good for Ravel. He looks a real talent so hopefully he’ll go on from here.”
