After the news broke that Nathan Holland became the U’s first signing of the January transfer window, fans have taken to Twitter to voice their reaction to the move.
Unsurprisingly, the response has been highly positive. The 21-year-old, who joins on-loan from West Ham United until the end of the season, has been in sensational form in the Premier League 2, leading the assist charts with seven and scoring twelve goals from just thirteen games.
Not only will he boost the squad’s promotion aspirations, but will also increase competition for players in an area that the U’s already look comfortable.

And it’s not just the Oxford supporters who are placed with their latest recruit. Many West Ham United fans have expressed their pleasure in seeing one of the clubs promising youngsters join an exciting team for regular first-team football.
Holland is highly proclaimed at the London club and is certainly one for the future. But, regular game time is something David Moyes is unable to guarantee the youngster, so the move suits both parties.
