Reece Oxford has left West Ham to sign on loan for Reading for the remainder of the 2016/17 season, the Championship club have announced.
Highly-rated Oxford, 18, is able to play at both centre-back and in midfield, and the Royals beat off a host of other clubs to secure his signature on a temporary basis.
The youngster has made 16 first-team appearances for the Hammers, and rose to prominence last season when he put in a stunning display at Arsenal in a 2-0 win on the first day of the 2015/16 Premier League season.
