# Monchengladbach want a two-year loan for Reece Oxford

After breaking into the West Ham first-team early in the 2015/16 season, the expectation was that this was the start of Reece Oxford’s ascent to becoming not only a regular for the Hammers but a rise through the ranks at international level.

However, an ankle injury derailed his progress last autumn and he was then sent out on loan to Reading where he played a bit-part role under Jaap Stam as the Royals lost out to Huddersfield on penalties in the Championship play-off final.

West Ham want to send the versatile 18-year-old out on loan for the 2017/18 so he can play some regular games and return to the London Stadium next year ready to make his mark on the first-team.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be seeing another London loanee in Andreas Christensen return to their parent club Chelsea this summer and are eager to bring in Oxford as a replacement, and like the Christensen deal, they want this to be a two-year loan move for the teenager, according to [Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/borussia-moenchengladbach/so-viel-christensen-steckt-in-oxford-52054264.bild.html).

That being said, West Ham are only interested in allowing Oxford to go for one season before reassessing his situation in a years time. The report states that there’s optimism on both sides that an agreement can and will be reached.

Monchengladbach have illustrated that they are a great foster home for developing talent and the opportunity to play in the Bundesliga would be a brilliant learning experience for a young player like Oxford who can play in midfield or at the heart of the defence.
