Arsenal eye Morris for loan period

Lee Morris may be Highbury bound

A loan move by Arsenal could ease the Rams wages bill but also deprive them of one of their star young players.Arsen Wenger is said to be eyeing Lee Morris as a temporary replacement for the injured midfield trio of Ljungberg, Pires and Van Bronckhorst.

Morris, one of the players to come out of last season with some credit would have an initial month loan with the Highbury club and depending on his form could be in with a chance of a permanent move to Arsenal.

The move is not likely to go down well with Rams fans, as Morris is seen as one of the players capable of getting the Rams back into the Premiership at the first attempt this coming season.
