The West Ham players were training hard on Friday, and among those who attended the session was Reece Oxford.

Oxford is a highly rated and promising young footballer who can operate as as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.

The 17-year-old has yet to feature in the Premier League this season, but him training with the first team on Friday suggests that he could play against Southampton this weekend.

The England Under-20 international played in seven Premier League games for the Hammers during the 2015-16 campaign, and he looked very determined and focused during Friday’s training session.

Oxford has been linked with a move away from West Ham, with The Daily Mail recently reporting that he is stalling on signing a new deal.

It was reported that Manchester United are in pole position to snap up the promising youngster, with Arsenal and Manchester City also credited with interest in the Englishman.
