West Ham Youngster to Stay and Fight for London Stadium Place Unless Given Specific Message

West Ham youngster Reece Oxford could leave the club permanently if Manuel Pellegrini decides he is surplus to requirements at the London Stadium.

Oxford hasn't been named in a senior matchday squad all season, not even in the Carabao Cup, and he admitted last week that he may be tempted to leave if his first team prospects do not improve.

The Daily Mail report that Oxford is 'thoroughly committed' to breaking into Pellegrini's squad, but he will seek a permanent move away rather than a loan if he is told that he is no longer needed.
