West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is ready to offload Ravel Morrison.
The Mirror says Morrison is recovering from a minor groin operation while the rest of the Hammers' squad are touring New Zealand.
The procedure was delayed, however, after Morrison refused to have the op because he was frightened about being cut.
It is claimed Allardyce "didn't seem that sympathetic" West Ham had to persuade the player the surgery was necessary ahead of the new season.
Morrison is also said to have left Big Sam exasperated with an aversion to long-haul flights.
Swansea City, Russia's CSKA Moscow and Sporting Lisbon of Portugal have made discreet enquiries about his availability this summer.
