West Ham defender Reece Oxford finds himself in demand, with several clubs chasing his signature.
The England-under 20 international, once listed as one of the best youth prospects in English football, is becoming increasingly frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities at the London Stadium under Manuel Pellegrini, and, with the Hammers now willing to let him leave before Thursday’s deadline day, could be set for a move this week.
Nottingham Forest, under new manager Martin O’Neill, are one club interested in the 20-year old, and could be set to launch an £8 million bid for him, as the Championship side look to strengthen ahead of a late push for a play-off spot.
Alternatively, as Sky Sports reports, Eintracht Frankfurt are also ready to make a bid for the player, who has already experience of the Bundesliga, having spent most of the 2017 – 2018 season on loan with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
