Reece Oxford has said he wants to fight for his chance at Borussia Monchengladbach, for whom he has yet to make his Bundesliga debut since arriving on loan from West Ham.
Oxford, 19, joined on a season-long loan but has the option to return to London in the winter.
But speaking to Bild on Wednesday, the England under-20 international vowed to battle for an opportunity at Borussia Park.
"It's true that I have this option to return to West Ham early, but I am not looking at it, rather that I finally play for Borussia," he said.
