West Ham desperate not to lose Arsenal, Chelsea target Reece Oxford

West Ham United are desperate to keep hold of top prospect Reece Oxford.

The Mirror says West Ham have offered Oxford a huge contract to try and fend off the advances of Arsenal and Chelsea.

The deal for the 6ft 3in, ball-playing centre-half would make him one of the best paid youngsters at the club.

Hammers co-owner David Sullivan said: "It almost makes you give up on having an academy if they can come in and nick your best 15-year-old. What's the point?"
