West Ham United could see Reece Oxford leave the club this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, West Ham United talent Reece Oxford believes he has no future at the club – and wants to move on this summer.
The Hammers landed Oxford in 2011 after a spell with Tottenham Hotspur, and he has risen up through the ranks in East London whilst representing England from under-16 to under-20 level.
Oxford, formerly a centre back but more recently a holding midfielder, shot to stardom on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 season with a stunning performance against Arsenal, but he has failed to kick on since.
The 19-year-old struggled in a loan spell at Reading last season before heading off to Germany with Borussia Monchengladbach, though his loan was briefly cut short between December and January.
Oxford has made just seven appearances for Gladbach this season, and amid claims that they intend to send him back to West Ham this summer, the Daily Mail claim that the player himself wants to stay with the Bundesliga side.
It’s stated that Oxford believes he has no future at West Ham and will seek a move this summer, and whilst he is proud of Declan Rice’s rise to prominence, he feels it’s another stumbling block in his way.
Having been so highly rated, Oxford’s dip has come as something of a surprise, and a West Ham exit this summer would cap off a real fall from grace inside three years.
