As per reporter Phil Cadden, the R’s are alongside Wrexham and Birmingham City in holding an interest in the Wales midfielder as his deal with Portsmouth nears expiry.
Morrell has struggled with injuries at Fratton Park but when fit, he’s been a valuable asset in the middle of the park. His experience in the Championship had many expecting him to be retained this summer, but Pompey have opted against triggering a contract extension, although talks have continued.
As interest emerges elsewhere and his contract winds down, Cadden notes that he now looks likely depart.
A smart signing
Morrell may well have options in the Championship and League One for next season. He would be a smart signing for any of QPR, Wrexham or Birmingham City.
From the Rs’ perspective, they’d be getting a midfielder who has starred in the third-tier and when at his best, he’s certainly a Championship-level player. On a free transfer, it would be a shrewd addition for Marti Cifuentes.
