West Ham are considering loan offers from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar and Spanish club Eibar for young defender Reece Oxford, the Daily Mail report.
According to the Mail, both offers on the table are only a half-season loan, but both would be open to the idea of extending Oxford’s stay at the club until the end of the season, with a view to signing the player permanently next summer for around £2 million.
Oxford, who impressed last season on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, recently portrayed his commitment to the Hammers, with the 19-year-old agreeing to take a pain killing injection in order to feature for the club’s under-23 side on Friday night.
The teenager captained the side and scored at the London Stadium, however, the Hammers fell to a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal’s under-23 side.
New boss Manuel Pellegrini is happy to allow Oxford to leave on loan, with his last senior appearance for West Ham coming back in January in the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
