Reece Oxford will remain at West Ham until manager Manuel Pellegrini informs him he is surplus to requirements.
The talented defender has resumed training with the Hammers first team and remains thoroughly committed to breaking into Pellegrini's plans.
As it stands, Pellegrini has not told Oxford where he stands, effectively leaving the defender in limbo. Until that point, the 19-year-old will continue to work tirelessly to prove his worth.
However, if West Ham make clear he is not in their long term plans then Oxford is prepared to leave.
But, it is understood Oxford will only accept a permanent move away from West Ham - and is ready to reject any attempts from the Hammers board to secure him a loan move.
