George Earthy, a 21-year-old English attacking midfielder for West Ham United, was on an internal list of winter transfer targets for Oxford United, a document that was inadvertently leaked online. The transfer plans of the Championship club were exposed when the wife of co-owner Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth posted a video on Instagram that showed her husband reading names from the internal document. Oxford United was looking to strengthen its squad in January to fight relegation. Earthy's contract is valid until June 30, 2026, and he has two caps for the England U21 team. During the 2025/2026 season, he has made one appearance in the Premier League, and in three appearances in Premier League 2, he has scored one goal and provided one assist. His current market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
