Arsenal plot £8m deal for teenage midfielder

Arsenal are considering a bid for West Ham United youngster Reece Oxford, The Mirror reports.

The 16-year-old was impressive for the Hammers in the Premier League opener where they earned a shock win at the Emirates.

Oxford has since then been sparingly used, but his potential has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months.

According to The Mirror, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been impressed by the teenager's showing and could launch a move for his services at the end of the current season.
