Reports of Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach pursuing deals for Porto's Diego Leite and Barcelona have been dismissed by a source from Germany.
It's being claimed that Gladbach are instead focusing on securing a deal for West Ham's versatile defender Reece Oxford, who they believe they can get for a bargain fee.
The club's sporting director Max Eberl is understood to be keen on having the player to join his side on a permanent deal, having previously housed him as a loanee, and is hoping that the Hammers will feel obligated to sell as they're currently facing Financial Fair Play pressure.
