REECE OXFORD is reportedly facing the prospect of plunging into Germany’s FOURTH tier after failing to make the grade at Augsburg.
The former West Ham youngster joined the Bundesliga side on a permanent deal last summer after a six-month loan spell at the start of 2019.

But Oxford, 21, has played just eight times all season.
And German outlet Kicker claims Augsburg were keen to loan him out in last month’s transfer window.
SunSport exclusively revealed Oxford was set for a loan move to struggling Dutch side VVV Venlo.
And we also told you that Luton Town made contact over a shock deal as well.
However, neither move failed to materialise.
And it’s now claimed that Oxford could yet “collect game time” in the Regional League, which is Germany’s fourth division.
Oxford was once tipped to be the next big thing in English football after impressing as a centre-back and defensive midfielder for the Hammers.
He was even linked with Manchester United at one stage following an incredible Premier League debut against Arsenal.
However, Oxford failed to build on his potential and was shipped out on loan to Reading before spending a time with Borussia Monchengladbach.
It now remains to be seen where Oxford ends up, with boss Stefan Reuter indicating the youngster’s time at Augsburg is up by saying he “would have been willing to talk” with clubs in January.
