West Ham boss David Moyes insists he does not like selling his best young players as he looks at Reece Oxford... but 'at times the money is too big'

Daily Mail | December 29, 2017

David Moyes has likened Reece Oxford’s situation to Wayne Rooney’s in 2004, insisting he does not like to sell his best young players but that there is always a price.

Moyes was Everton manager when Rooney, then an 18-year-old striker, signed for Manchester United in a £27million move.

Now in charge of West Ham, Moyes met Oxford for the first time at their Rush Green training ground on Friday after cancelling the 19-year-old’s loan at Borussia Monchengladbach.

Oxford has been linked with multi-million-pound moves to Monchengladbach and fellow Bundesliga club RB Leipzig but Moyes wants to take a closer look at the talented teenager himself.
