West Ham starlet Reece Oxford pens new four-and-a-half-year contract to end speculation over his future

West Ham's Reece Oxford has marked his 18th birthday by penning a new four-and-a-half-year contract to end uncertainty over his future.

Manchester United and Manchester City had both been keen on the starlet, who turned 18 on Friday.

Oxford made his breakthrough last season and although he is yet to make a top-flight appearance this term — which has been hindered by injuries so far — he is held in high regard at the London Stadium.
