West Ham defender Reece Oxford is in Germany today to kickoff his loan with Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Daily Mail says Oxford has arrived in Germany to complete a season-long loan move to Borussia Monchengladbach.

The 18-year-old has flown over for advanced talks with the Bundesliga club and is expected to agree a deal for the entirety of next season.

Oxford is tipped as a future West Ham and England captain but the Hammers want their teenager to gain regular first-team football next season.

West Ham will not consider any permanent offers for their highly-rated defender.
