Fulham are interested in signing versatile Englishman Reece Oxford on a season-long loan from, according to Sky Sports.

The 20-year-old, who is capable of playing at centre-back or in defensive midfield, spent the second half of last season on loan at FC Augsburg in Germany and is reportedly in talks with the Bundesliga club over a permanent deal.

Sky Sports claim that Championship rivals Fulham and Swansea City are both interested in signing the player and are weighing up offers for a season-long loan.

Oxford burst on to the scene at West Ham four years ago, but has struggled to hold down a place in the side and has spent time on loan at three different clubs since making his Premier League debut as a 16-year-old in 2015.

So, would he be a good signing for Fulham? We discuss...

Ben Lang

"I think Oxford would be a solid signing for any top-half Championship side which means he would also be a good fit at Fulham.

"Oxford will now be hungry to make an impact throughout the regular season in English football, and he could really develop his game under the tutelage of Scott Parker at Craven Cottage.

"Fulham have already done some good business this summer with the addition of Ivan Cavaleiro and Alexsander Mitrovic's contract extension, so I can see them pushing for promotion next season.

Oxford would really help his development by playing alongside a good standard of players, while competing with the top sides in the league.

"However, I think this would perhaps be a risky move for Oxford in terms of guaranteed playing time.

"Although players could still move on, Fulham still have a lot of midfielders at the club which could make it difficult to guarantee Oxford regular playing time."

"He could be.

"Fulham need hungry players that want to prove themselves this coming season and Scott Parker will demand exactly that from his players.

"He's a decent footballer and just needs to show that on a consistent basis for the right club to really launch his career.

"Fulham are bound to play some good stuff this season and that will lend itself to Oxford who likes to get on the ball and look after it before playing it along the deck.

"Parker is bound to have an idea of how to get the best out of him, too, and so I fully expect him to do well there if he joined."

George Harbey

“This is a mixed one for me – there are probably better options out there for Fulham than Oxford, but he is a player that once had some serious potential.

“They obviously need to replace Calum Chambers who was impressive on loan from Arsenal last season, but they already have some very established and experienced defenders in Alfie Mawson and Tim Ream.

“Nevertheless, Oxford is a talented, ball-playing centre-half that has a point to prove after falling out of favour at West Ham, and he will be hungry to impress upon his return to English football.

“He can play in defence or even in holding midfield, so he would be a good option for Scott Parker to have.”
