Irons unlikely to trigger release clause

Reece Oxford could be recalled from Borussia Monchengladbach in January because the teenager has not played enough games … but it is highly unlikely tey will exercise that option

Oxford’s loan deal with the Bundesliga club has a clause claiming he had to make seven appearances for with the club  to avoid the break clause being activated, but he has only appeared three times.

Now David Moyes will decide closer whether to bring him back to West Ham but give he has just broken into the team it doesn’t seem likely to January whether to have the youngster return to Rush Green so he can take a closer look.

Oxford’s German debut came as a late sub in October but his second and third appearances in the German top flight both came in the last week, with him starting both.

As reported here earlier today (Sun) there is no chance of him being sold to ‘Gladbach as speculated some media outlets.
