Premier League duo Arsenal and Everton are interested in signing West Ham United youngster Reece Oxford, according to a report on the Mirror.
The centre-back is growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of first-team opportunities given to him by Hammers’ manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Oxford is yet to feature in a single Premier League matchday squad so far this season and wants to be playing regular football.
Pellegrini has warned the 20-year-old that he may not have a future at the club, which has alerted Arsenal and Everton.
Both sides are keen to strengthen their defensive units and Oxford is one of England’s highest rated youngsters.
Oxford became West Ham’s youngest ever Premier League debutant at the age of 16 and since then, he has been closely followed by a number of clubs.
He enjoyed a very successful loan spell in the German Bundesliga last season with Borussia Monchengladbach, who were keen to sign him permanently in the summer.
West Ham decided to keep him in London but he could now be poised for a move away from the Hammers.
