Reading are closing on a deal for West Ham defender Reece Oxford.

Nottingham Forest have also been linked but West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has hinted that a move to the Royals is more likely.

The Mirror had reported that Forest were favourites for the 18-year-old.

But Sullivan appeared to confirm the teenager was heading to the Royals.

He told talkSPORT: "We don't expect much coming in today.

"We might have a couple of young players going out on loan. Reece Oxford might be going to Reading."
