Championship experience
Making 55 appearances in England’s second division with the likes of QPR, Birmingham and Cardiff, Morrison has shown that he is capable of creating something out of nothing when going up against Championship defenders.
Having a hand in 14 goals in those outings, Morrison has scored nine himself from attacking midfield as well as laying on five assists.
If Bruce is eyeing promotion back to the Premier League at the second attempt following Villa’s relegation at the end of the 2015-16 campaign, then he must look to lure Morrison to Villa Park over enemies Birmingham.
