REECE OXFORD is set to join Borussia Monchengladbach on a season-long loan to gain more first-team experience.
The promising youngster spent last season on loan at Reading but despite their strong season in the Championship he only made five appearances for Jaap Stam’s side.
According to the Mirror, the 18-year-old is on the verge of joining the Bundesliga side as he looks to fulfill his bright potential.
His last outing for the Royals was a 7-1 defeat to Norwich in April and Slaven Bilic is determined for his youngster to get more game time next term.
And despite being such a hot prospect, he is finding opportunities at West Ham few and far between as he is set for his second loan spell.
The teenager burst onto the scene in 2015 after he impressed on his Premier League debut away to Arsenal.
