Hammers defender being regularly scouted
Reports have emerged that the Under 23s captain has attracted scouts from Manchester City but that was denied by a top club insider to ClaretandHugh via text who revealed all the scouting interest was coming from Germany.
Oxford is no longer a part of the manager’s first team plans who made it clear in a recent statement that his future would be decided dependent on how the central defender responded.
But the reality both Oxford himself and the club are agreed that a move will be on and the Bundesliga is looking his best bet of making that happen.
Had David Moyes not recalled him to the club last season whilst he was on loan at Borrusia Monchengladbach a deal could have been on and the player was reportedly upset when he was called back.
It was something any responsible manager would have done as he looked at every member squad but it may well have interrupted the progress he was making.
We understand among the clubs interested in perhaps making a move for him are Gladbach, FC Leipzig and Hoffenheim but any who wish to make a move will need to make it a permanent arrangement as neither Oxford or West Ham are interested in a loan deal.
