'Rave reviews' - Ex claims WHUFC coaches 'really rate' former ace; he now wants England return

ExWHUemployee has revealed that former West Ham United player Reece Oxford is ready for a return to England – but is unlikely to re-join his old club. 

Back in 2015, the midfielder burst onto the scene at just 16 years of age as he made his Premier League debut, starring in a win over Arsenal.

Discussing the player on The West Ham Way podcast, Ex said: “Reece Oxford’s been smashing it up in Germany and doing really well, getting lots of rave reviews.

“I’ve been asked a number of times whether he’d come back to West Ham.

“Now, there are people at West Ham that really, really rate him still – a number of the coaches, obviously a number of players that would have known him from his younger days. 

“But at the moment, I think Reece still feels a little bit kind of hurt about how his time turned out at West Ham. And, you know, perhaps some of the things that might have been said about him that he doesn’t agree with.

“So at the moment, I would say it’s unlikely that he would come back to West Ham, although I know that he is looking to move back to England soon.”

“But I don’t know, I’ve not spoken to anyone and no one has spoken to me. Hopefully one day I get called up, because that’s the end goal for me.”

With that in mind, it would make sense for Oxford to
