Reece Oxford admits he'd like to be allowed to leave West Ham in January if his playing chances fail to improve.

The youngster spent two loan spells with Borussia Monchengladbach last season, but has failed to make a senior appearance this term, playing in just the Under 23s and Checkatrade Trophy games.

“I sit on the settee and feel angry," Oxford told the Sunday Times. “I don't want to be there – I want to be on the pitch, playing against these big teams. I've just got to find my way."

“Things can change round at West Ham in a week. I think [Manuel] Pellegrini believes if you are training hard you can get in, and I look at Grady [Diangana]. He's kicking on now and I want that to be me.

“But if I am not playing, I hope West Ham would look kindly on my situation and let me go, because there is no point being 20 and not around the first team. Hopefully everyone wants me to fulfil the potential they have seen.

“The club has done a lot for me. Given me my debut, made me the player I am. I could never talk down the club but right now I need to be playing and if West Ham are not playing me, I've got to move on and part ways."
