After picking up four points from their last two games, the West Ham United fans propping up the bar in the Transfer Tavern have been in good spirits.
With a home clash to Hull City on the horizon, the Hammers are optimistic about creating some space between them and the drop zone, after a nervy start to the campaign.
Well, our east London locals have now been handed even more reason to celebrate following a story on their official website.
It’s been confirmed that Reece Oxford has penned a brand new deal at the London Stadium, despite strong links with Manchester United during his burgeoning career thus far.
Ever since his impressive debut against Arsenal at the beginning of last season, the 18-year-old has been earmarked as one of the most promising talents in England by our punters.
So, his signing a new four-year deal at the club is a huge boost to everyone involved, continuing the Irons’ trend of producing young talent.
“I am happy to have signed my new contract”, Oxford told whufc.com.
;;There was a lot of speculation about my future but I am happy that it has been done and I can get back to football. I just want to kick on now.
“I have made my family proud and hopefully I have made the fans proud that I have signed a new contract. Hopefully I can get into the team and help them throughout the whole season.”
How big a coup is this for West Ham? Let us know below..
