West Ham United's Reece Oxford 'to sign new long-term deal'

Reece Oxford is reportedly close to signing a new long-term contract at West Ham United.

The 17-year-old, who made his Premier League debut on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 campaign, has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United in recent weeks.

Last week, a report claimed that Man United had tabled a £10m bid for a player that had turned down a new £12,000-a-week contract at the Olympic Stadium.

However, according to The Express, Oxford has now decided to stay with the Hammers and will pen a new long-term contract with the capital club over the next week.

Oxford joined West Ham's youth system in 2011 and has 12 first-team appearances to his name.
