Championship outfit Hull have reportedly launched an ambitious enquiry to sign Oxford from Premier League West Ham United amid Eredivisie and La Liga interest.

Manager Nigel Adkins of Hull City looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Hull City and Millwall FC at KCOM Stadium on March 6, 2018 in Hull, England.

It is developing into a very busy deadline day for Hull City. Marvin Johnson and Tommy Elphick are expected to arrive from Middlesbrough and Aston Villa respectively, while Kamil Grosicki is on his way to Bursaspor, according to the Hull Daily Mail.

But the most exciting deal could be yet to arrive.

According to The Mail (live blog, 12.06pm), Hull have made an enquiry to sign West Ham United youngster Reece Oxford on loan on the final day of the transfer window.

The 19-year-old has been tipped to leave the London Stadium on a temporary basis all summer and interest is peaking on deadline day with German second tier outfit Darmstadt keen, as are AZ Alkmaar and Eibar.

But the report adds that Hull are now hopeful of concluding a deal to bring Oxford to the KCOM Stadium.

Oxford earned rave reviews when he made his West Ham debut at the age of just 16, playing out of position in a 2-0 away win at Arsenal on the opening day of the 2015/16 season.

But he has barely featured for the Hammers’ first-team since and has spent time away at Reading and Borussia Monchengladbach. Sky Sports claimed earlier in the summer that West Ham would have been willing to sell for £10 million.
