Having seen the reports, the 17-year-old tweeted: ‘Been hearing some funny stuff recently’.

And the Mail’s sports team – Sportsmail – claims it can reveal that the defender was  referring to talk of a pending new deal at the London Stadium.

His current deal is due to expire at the end of next season, but they say Oxford has indicated, no agreement over an extension is close.
