Reece Oxford will reportedly resist the temptation to leave West Ham in January in the belief Arsenal will move for him this summer.
The 20-year-old has found first-team opportunities hard to come by at the London Stadium, with Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini informing him he may have to leave if he wants more game-time.

The German media are reporting that Borussia Monchengladbach have tabled an offer for the player, who has already had two loans spells with them.
However, the defender is keen to remain in the UK and has his heart set on a move to Arsenal, who are understood to be keen on bringing Oxford to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are unlikely to spend any money in January, meaning Oxford may have to wait out the rest of the season before being allowed to make his dream move.
Everton have also been strongly linked with the West Ham academy product but they, like Arsenal, are not looking to make any additions this month.
It is thought Gladbach have offered in the region of £10.8million for Oxford and West Ham are keen to do a deal despite him having another two-and-a-half-years left on his current contract.
