According to the Daily Mail, Oxford United, along with Derby County, West Brom and Swansea City, were linked with a move for Liverpool midfielder James McConnell last winter, but a transfer did not happen.

Laola1.at has reported that Oxford United is eyeing a loan move for Liverpool's young English player, James McConell. The 20-year-old midfielder, who has 13 appearances for Liverpool's first team in the Premier League, is also attracting interest from Hull City and West Bromwich Albion. As the summer transfer window remains open, several clubs are competing for his signature, with Sturm Graz also being mentioned as a possible destination. Despite his experience, it is still unclear which club McConell will join on loan. Transfermarkt states that his current market value is €2.00m.
