Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton is trying to land the West Ham United defender on loan.

Glasgow Rangers have made a loan enquiry for West Ham United’s Reece Oxford, according to the Daily Mail.

And it is claimed the Hammers are mulling over whether or not to allow the teenage defender to move to Ibrox on a temporary basis.

Rangers have already acquired two loan signings from English Premier League sides this month, with Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral arriving from Bournemouth and Arsenal respectively.

And with the pair both midfielders, it is likely that the versatile Oxford is being earmarked for a central defensive role by Gers boss Mark Warburton.

Oxford burst on to the scene on the opening day of last season, impressing in West Ham’s 2-0 win at Arsenal at the age of 16.

Now 18, the England youth international is yet to feature in a Premier League fixture this season, but remains part of the Hammers’ long term plans having signed a new four-and-a-half year deal in December.
