Arsenal plan Oxford move

Arsenal are preparing a summer bid for West Ham United teenager Reece Oxford.

The 17-year-old was part of the Hammers' side that clinched a surprise 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates in the Premier League opener.

Since then, Oxford has been a regular in the club's matchday squads, and has racked a tally of eight appearances in all competitions.

According to The Mirror, chief Gunners scout Steve Rowley is a huge admirer of the player's talents, and has seemingly given the green light to pursue his services in the summer.

The Gunners are expected to make an initial bid of around £8m for the talented youngster.

Oxford has the potential to play at either central defence or holding midfield.
