Oxford rules out West Ham return

West Ham loanee Reece Oxford has ruled out an early return to West Ham this January saying he will remain in Germany and is only focussed on training and the chance to play. The 18-year-old did confirm he has a clause to return early but says he is not looking to activate it.

“It’s true that I have the option to go back to West Ham prematurely, but I’m not looking for it, but I just want to play here at Borussia,” Oxford told German newspaper Bild.

“I’m only focused on training and the possibility to play.”

Last week Claret and Hugh revealed that Reece Oxford is available for the right price with bids of £15m or more likely to tempt the owners to cash in. With Academy prospects of Declan Rice and Reece Burke, Oxford should be let go if a club meets his valuation.
