Reece Oxford commits future to West Ham amid interest in 16-year-old wonderkid from Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal
Reece Oxford is to sign a long-term contract with West Ham
16-year-old defender is wanted by Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal
Oxford is viewed as one of English football's outstanding young talents
He made the West Ham squad for Capital One Cup tie with Sheffield United
Oxford has captained the England Under 17 side
West Ham are set for a major boost with the news that wonderkid Reece Oxford is poised to commit his long term future to the club.
Oxford, who turned 16 last month, is viewed as one of England's talents with all of the Premier League's elite looking to poach him from Upton Park.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have all shown a major interest in the teenager in recent months, leading to genuine fears from within West Ham that they could lose Oxford.
But the young defender is close to agreeing a new contract with the Hammers that will - for the time being - end any uncertainty over his future.
Talks over fresh terms have been ongoing for several weeks. Discussions had originally stalled, but it is understood a breakthrough has now been made that will see Oxford, who has captained England Under-17s, put pen to paper.
Oxford - who was 15 at the time - was an unused substitute in the Capital One Cup defeat against Sheffield United in September - a clear indication of how highly regarded he is by West Ham staff.
The central defender, who has been likened to former Hammers academy graduate Rio Ferdinand, could have left for a nominal fee in the summer when his contract was due to expire.
But the Hammers are now confident that scenario has been avoided after positive talks.

According to a fella on Stop Hammer Time, on facebook, Oxford gets the following:
£1m signing on fee
£7k a week
His mum also gets £25k a year.

Re: Reece Oxford to sign

not starting for Dev squad, noowehere near 1st team and no loan
I'd love to be wrong but I just don't see him coming through
He seems more like that Tony Stokes we had (not the celtic bloke) who seemed to be kept around for ages without doing anything

The thing with Lletget is that he is still with us 22 and not gone the way of Hines,Sears,Hall etc etc.
I heard he is really really talented and they keep waiting for the 'breakthrough' moment. He doesn't really seem to start for the development squad.
He must have something about him to still be there.

Lletget is 22 now, sadly, you have to figure if he was going to make it he'd have done so by now

Lee is coming back from an injury. I'd like to see him given a go. He likes a long shot.

Our best season in ages but whats happened to the yoof's ?
Potts, Chambers (especially), Llegett Lee and Burke ? what has happened.
Are they still doing well and the first team squad is just too strong.
Or are they shit
Or are they been blocked by avg but you know what you get types like RVT, O'Brien, Demel, Cole etc.
I'm hoping that we get the next 7 points and we can see at least 2 of them introuduced and given a chance. Or has there chance gone and its Borg and Oxford that will get a sniff of the first team squad.

AG!
Unless he's a man-child, I'd find it hard to believe he would put on enough muscle weight to be a competitive centreback in the prem for several years.
