Transfer news: RB Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick says West Ham starlet Reece Oxford no longer a target for Bundesliga club

RB Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick has ruled out a move for West Ham defender Reece Oxford.

The teenager shot to prominence last season when he shone on his debut against Arsenal at the age of just 16.

Since then the England under-20 international has attracted plenty of interest from several clubs, including Manchester United.

Big-spending RB Leipzig have also been linked with Oxford as they look to continue their recruitment drive which revolves around signing players under the age of 24.

However, Rangnick, who is entrusted with finding new signings, has cooled talk of a move for the Hammers starlet.
