West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has praised the contribution of former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison.

The 20-year-old has netted three goals this season and his form has sparked talk of an England call-up.

Allardyce told the club website: "I've been really impressed with Ravel Morrison's creativity on the ball and his proven goalscoring ability.

"He didn't have the chances on Saturday [at Hull] but he scored against Everton and against Cardiff, where he took his goals exceptionally well. I think if he'd got a chance on Saturday, he'd have scored for us as he's in great goalscoring form.

"Momo Diame is playing wide as Ravel Morrison is playing wonderfully in the central position and we've had Joe Cole and Stewart Downing injured."
