Former West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has dropped a hint on Instagram he fancies a return to West Ham, more than three years after leaving the club having made just 18 appearances.

The 25-year-old midfielder is currently plying his trade with Mexican Liga MX side Atlas Guadalajara, where has scored three times in 18 appearances since signing on loan from Lazio.

Morrison arrived at West Ham in 2012 but after a series of loans away, departed the club having been brought to east London by Sam Allardyce as it didn't pan out quite how either party wanted, eventually leaving permanently in 2015.

West Ham fans saw glimpses of what Morrison could offer and displayed during his time at Manchester United, something that led to former Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson saying Morrison was, supposedly telling former West Ham defender Rio Ferdinand that Morrison was a "genius."

Now seemingly rebuilding his career in Mexico having had loan spells at Cardiff City, QPR and Birmingham, Morrison might be keen on a switch back to London if you believe what he has posted on Instagram.

The midfielder posted a video on his social media scoring an absolute peach of a chip in training for Atlas and it led to cult Hammers hero Carlton Cole sending him a reply, saying: "Bro time to come back to England."

Morrison saw Cole's reply and sent one back in kind, adding: "Bring me back to West Ham you have the power."

Now, whether Morrison was messing around or was being serious, only he knows. But, could you imagine if he did make his way back to east London? You suspect Hammers fans would be delighted and want to see it happen.
