Reece Oxford – Rio Ferdinand merchandise (With Edits)

He’s a huge talent, and with a new contract he will only develop quickly.

He’s been likened to Rio Ferdinand, and West Ham would be very happy for him to turn out as well as the former England captain. As such we should buy him every piece of Rio Ferdinand merchandise there is. But we should make some edits.

Although I cannot ignore the fact he moved clubs, all references to West Ham in a slightly bad light should be removed. And maybe that time at Leeds should also be ignored. At least he won a lot when he was at United, but the Leeds spell is probably best ignored if we want Oxford to remain loyal to the club and ambitious.

But videos of the young defender in action will give Oxford a lot to build himself on. The passing ability and mental awareness would serve as valuable lessons for the young defender. But given that the former player has a lot of merchandise on the market, he’d best get working through it quickly
