Former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison has confirmed he is travelling to Jamaica with a view to changing his allegiance at international level.
The BBC reported this week that the 25-year-old, who plays for Mexican side Atlas on loan from Lazio, was considering declaring himself available for the Caribbean nation.
Morrison, who played for England as a youth player up to Under-21 level, tweeted on Tuesday to say he hopes to finalise terms with the Jamaican Football Federation in the coming days.
Making my way to Jamaica, he wrote. Sorting my documents papers this week so can be ready for the next games.
Looking forward to watch the game on Sunday 25th [against Antigua and Barbuda].

FIFA has reduced the ban from football issued to former official Harold Mayne-Nicholls following an appeal.
The organisation s Adjudicatory Chamber chose to suspend Mayne-Nicholls from all footballing activities for seven years in January, and fined him 20,000CHF.
Former head of Chile s football association Mayne-Nicholls had been found guilty of misconduct, conflict of interest and accepting gifts after an investigation into his work as head of the Bid Evalutation Group for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, but FIFA s Appeal Committee has since accepted that the seven-year ban was too severe.
While agreeing with the principles and arguments presented by the adjudicatory chamber, the Appeal Committee deemed that the sanction imposed was not proportionate to the brea…
Tomas Rincon made history earlier this month as the first Venezuelan to sign for Juventus. (Photo: Daniele Buffa/Image Sport)
On January 3rd, Tomas Rincon made history for Juventus without even touching a ball.
The 29-year-old became the first Venezuelan signing after the Bianconeri opted to spent a reported €8 million to bring him in from Genoa on a three-and-a-half year deal. For many, the deal seemed to come out of nowhere. Rincon had first emerged on the Serie A radar after arriving at the Grifone on a free transfer during the summer 2014 transfer market. During his two-and-a-half-years at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, he made over 80 appearances across all competitions, whilst scoring three goals.
Solid, but certainly not spectacular. Rincon also spent five …
Marcus Thuram set for Inter move
Marcus Thuram is reportedly set to join Inter Milan as a free agent, with his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach about to expire next week.
There was plenty of speculation about the future of the 25-year-old striker over the last couple of months, and it appears to be all over as he makes his way to replace Edin Dzeko in the Nerazzurri shirt.
Man United make Onana contact amid De Gea uncertainty
As things stand at the moment, David De Gea is set to run out of contract at Manchester United. Though the possibility of a new one being signed still very much exists, both the club and the player are believed to be considering their options.
One of those options, for United, of course, is apparently In…
Departing Chelsea captain John Terry says the club s Champions League triumph in 2012 is easily the best moment of his career.
Terry did not play in the final against Bayern Munich due to suspension, but still values winning that tournament above any other accomplishment.
The defender s opinion is influenced by four semi-final exits and a shoot-out defeat to Manchester United in the Moscow final in 2008 – his tears after a penalty miss the enduring image of that match – before finally going all the way.
Asked what his favourite trophy was, Terry, who won a total of 17 at Chelsea, told the club s website: Champions League, it is just a lovely trophy, but also because of just how hard over the years it has been to win it.
Two or three years we shou…
Simone Inzaghi said Inter still believe they can retain the Scudetto after Lautaro Martinez s brace helped the Nerazzurri beat Cagliari and take the Serie A title race to the wire.
After watching Milan beat Atalanta 2-0 at San Siro, the Nerazzurri had to win in Sardinia to avoid ceding their domestic crown to their rivals, but Martinez followed up Matteo Darmian s opener with a second-half double as Inter claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win to keep their hopes intact.
Inter have now won seven of their past eight league games, but must beat Sampdoria and hope Sassuolo defeat the Rossoneri on the final day to win their 20th top-flight title.
Inzaghi won one Serie A title during his playing career, scoring when Sven Goran Eriksson s Lazio claimed a dramatic title triumph …

Pep Guardiola has labelled the much-maligned David Luiz an exceptional player ahead of Manchester City s FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal.
City have won seven matches in succession against the Gunners, a run that stretches back to the same stage of this competition three years ago.
The last of those was a 3-0 Premier League triumph at the Etihad Stadium last month – a game perhaps most notable for David Luiz s nightmare individual outing.
Introduced as a replacement for the injured Pablo Mari during the first half, the Brazil international misjudged Kevin De Bruyne s searching pass for Raheem Sterling s opening goal.
David Luiz then pulled back Riyad Mahrez to be sent off and give De Bruyne the chance to double City s lead from the penalty spot – one…
According to a recent report from Sky Italy, AC Milan have put forward an offer to try and sign LA Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has been heavily linked with a move back to Milan as he prepares for the expiration of his contract with Galaxy next month. The club want to bring Zlatan in for him to train with the team in December, ensuring that he’ll be fit and ready to go by the time that the January transfer window officially rolls around.
Milan officials are set to meet with Ibrahimovic’s agent next week, although at this moment in time, Zlatan’s demands are believed to be too high for AC to even consider proceeding with the negotiations.
Napoli and Bologna have both also made it clear that they want to put some kind of offer forward, but no …
