West Bromwich Albion should consider a loan move for the West Ham United youngster.
Darren Moore has his work cut-out at the Hawthorns this summer, if he is to guide his West Brom team to an immediate return back up to the Premier League this season.
With Jonny Evans already departed, and Ahmed Hegazi and Craig Dawson being heavily linked with exits from the club, Moore will surely be targeting the addition of at least one centre-back this summer.
With this in mind, the Baggies should consider a loan move for West Ham youngster Reece Oxford.
The 19-year-old spent last season in Germany on loan with Borussia Monchengladbach, and despite not getting much game time, he impressed in the Bundesliga.

Oxford burst onto the scene with the Hammers during their 2-0 away win at Arsenal on the opening day of the 2015/16 Premier League campaign, but strangely, he hasn’t really been given the chance to shine since then.
The talented youngster is wonderfully versatile, and is equally proficient at playing in the deep-lying midfield role as he is the centre-back position.
Standing at 6ft 3in tall, the West Ham man is strong in the air, and possesses an impressive physique – two attributes that are prerequisites if you are to be a success in the Championship.
A loan move to West Brom would be beneficial to not only Darren Moore’s side, but also for both the player himself and West Ham, as he will surely benefit from experiencing a season in England’s second tier.
