Oxford Battle With Premier League Clubs for 17-Year-Old Winger

|

Oxford United are one of several clubs showing interest in Cliftonville winter, Sean Moore, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

The 17-year-old, who can play on both the right and left side of midfield, has also attracted interest from Celtic, Everton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

While the U’s may find themselves in a lower league than the other interest parties, they do have a good track record of bringing youngsters over from Ireland and developing them before selling them on. Furthermore, it would seem likely that he would get more game time at Grenoble Road, while the other clubs may move him to the development sides.

In 16 Danske Bank Premiership appearances this season, Moore has scored twice and added two assists. He also found the net once from one Irish Cup outing earlier this month.

This could make for an interesting addition. While the club already have several exciting wingers, Moore could become the next one on the production line. However, the U’s will face stiff competition from higher division teams.
