According to the Oxford Mail, West Ham United sent representatives to Oxford United’s training ground yesterday to check up on Marcus Browne’s progress.

The West Ham staff visited the League One club, and decided that Browne staying with the U’s was the best option.

There had been talk that Browne could return to West Ham this month, or even be relocated at a Championship club.

But it seems that West Ham are happy to keep the youngster out on loan with Karl Robinson’s side, where he has caught the eye.

Browne has earned raved reviews from Robinson and turned into one of Oxford’ most important players.

The U’s have been in decent form, after a poor start to the campaign, and Browne’s form has made him a fans’ favourite at his temporary club.

West Ham still have high hopes for the attacking midfielder, but it seems unlikely he would break into the first-team at the London Stadium this term.

And it has been decided that keeping Browne out on loan is the best move for his development.
