It's been a momentous couple of weeks for Reece Oxford.

He made his West Ham debut in a Europa League qualifier at the start of July.

So impressed with the 16-year-old was Hammers manager Slaven Bilic that he gave Oxford his Premier League debut on the opening day of the season - a fixture that saw Wast Ham stun Arsenal 2-0.

11 days on from that brilliant performance, Oxford is getting his GCSE results.

Along with hundreds of thousands of pupils across England, Wales and Scotland, the West Ham prodigy will today learn what grades he achieved.

The Edmonton born footballer may be able to go out and celebrate with his peers as he's a doubt for the clash at home to Bournemouth this weekend after missing a few days' training this week due to a niggle.
