Bilic brought Oxford through at West Ham so it’s either putting two and two together or he’s on Bilic’s wish list.
To be honest Reece Oxford has never been good enough in my opinion for the Bundesliga. Whenever I saw him play for Augsburg last season, he always looked a bit out of his depth. He has pace but lacks good ball control at that level and his decision making was inconsistent. He would for example go towards the speedy winger down the channel and jump in rather than standing off and trying to slow the attacker down. It also shouldn’t be forgotten that Rani Khedira, a defensive midfielder, was chosen ahead of Oxford at centre back in the final months of the season. That could why the deal has “collapsed”.
With us though he wouldn’t be at that same level so could be a good signing if he gets regular game time.
Similar to Burke - flatters to deceive, but we have gaps to fill, if he's cheap he's could be worth a punt.
