Augsburg are ready to buy outright West Ham defender Reece Oxford.

Sky Sports says Oxford is close to agreeing a permanent switch to Bundesliga club Augsburg.

Personal terms are yet to be agreed with the 20-year old, though, on a deal that could be worth £8m to the Hammers.

Oxford has been on loan at Augsburg since January, having not made a senior appearance for West Ham since October 2016.

The England U20 international has played six times for Augsburg during his third loan spell to the Bundesliga, having had two previous stints at Borussia Monchengladbach.
