Artemis Beartrappe looks to continue his sure for some of the best youth players around... and it seems that he has his eyes set on 17 year old Reece Oxford from West Ham United...
On 2 July 2015... Oxford made his competitive debut aged 16... starting in midfield in a UEFA Europa League first qualifying round first leg tie against FC Lusitanos... a 3–0 home win... In doing so... he became West Ham's youngest ever player. On 9 August the same year... Oxford started his first professional league game... as West Ham began the Premier League season against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium... playing the first 79 minutes of a 2–0 victory before being replaced by Kevin Nolan... Oxford... who only lost possession once in the match... became the second youngest Premier League starter of all time... after Jose Baxter...
Oxford has played for England up to U20 level and captained his country at the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship... The team reached the quarter-finals... and Oxford scored in the penalty shootout as they defeated Spain in a play-off for the 2015 U-17 World Cup...
Uefa.com described his playing style as "Tall and quick, he is not daunted in the face of illustrious opponents"... Oxford has been, on numerous occasions, compared to former West Ham academy graduate Rio Ferdinand...
Oxford would cost Liverpool in the range of one million... but with the bright future he has ahead of him that would be nothing to Liverpool with the potential to become one of the best centre back in the Premier League... and with his versatility he could even play a holding midfield role which he done on several occasions for West ham United...
