Irons facing battle over teen Oxford

RED BULL LEIPZIG have made a £17million move for West Ham prospect Reece Oxford.

But the Bundesliga club are stuck in a three-way battle for the 19-year-old.

The Irons want to recall him from his loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach, who also want to sign him permanently.

Oxford (above) has enjoyed his time there and has done enough to impress two clubs.

Hammers boss David Moyes is also watching developments and does not want to lose Oxford, who is viewed as being one of England’s best defensive prospects.

Moyes may now see him as able to play a part in the second half of the season and would not want to regret selling him further down the line.

RB Leipzig are willing to pay £9m up front, rising potentially to £17m.
