* Everton are reported to be considering making a (paltry?) offer of £3million for Academy graduate Reece Oxford, according to Sky Sports.
The defender, whose salary is worth in excess of £1million per year has been made surplus to requirements by West Ham. He was the subject of a rejected £12million offer by Red Bull Leipzig back in January and is also on the radar of Monchengladbach, with whom he spent last season on loan.
* Pedro Obiang is still being linked with a return to Serie A side Sampdoria, despite West Ham having sold fellow central midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate to Crystal Palace earlier in the week.
The two clubs are understood to have agreed a fee worth in the region of £10million for the former Spanish Under 21 international, who cost West Ham £4.3million when moving from Italy to England three summers ago.
