Reece Oxford has had a turbulent few years since bursting onto the scene as a teenager.

Boasting attributes that made him look a player beyond his years, he's failed to make the strides he looked as though he'd be able to make.

The defender has had two loan spells in Germany with Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg but didn't set the world alight during his time in the Bundesliga.

However, West Brom could be about to give him a lifeline in England. The Telegraph report that Albion are poised to move for the 20-year-old in a deal which could cost just £2m.

They report that the Baggies are set to capitalise on the fact that Oxford's permanent switch to Augsburg is collapsing.

A deal had been in place according to The Telegraph but it's now in doubt over issues regarding a relegation release clause.

Consequently, he could move to West Brom instead. With a potential transfer to the Championship outfit on the cards, Football FanCast writers have had their say on a possible move.

Charles Jones:

"£2m isn't much these days so I'd say that this is worth a go for the Baggies. Everyone remembers Reece Oxford's debut against Arsenal where he pocketed Mesut Ozil, but since then he hasn't really done much. A permanent move away from West Ham may be the shot in the arm Oxford needs though and West Brom could be the beneficiaries of that, and if they can get him back on track then he would be incredible in the Championship."

Billy Meyers:

"Oxford burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old but has fizzled out significantly ever since. However, he is still young and talent doesn't just disappear. In this day and age, if he is available for £2m then it's an opportunity West Brom simply can't ignore. At this price, it is definitely worth taking the risk on Oxford."

Luke Glanville:

"Reece Oxford has struggled monumentally both on and off the pitch for West Ham United since that debut performance everyone remembers. Whether the now-20-year-old allowed himself to get a little complacent is not for me to decide or pass judgement on. A possible reunion with Slaven Bilic at West Brom is promising. But for me, this deal is one the Baggies should avoid. The last time Oxford played for West Ham he looked way off the pace and that was against a team from League One."
