It is believed that Oxford would prefer to stay in England for the next step of his career.
Reports in Germany suggest that Gladbach have launched a bid to secure his permanent signature.
The impressive development of Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson in the Bundesliga this season has given young English stars confidence to move abroad to take their game to the next level.
Arsenal are keen to bolster their defensive options but only have limited funds available in January.
West Ham are believed to value Oxford at around £3million, a bargain in today’s inflated market.
The Gunners also face competition from Everton for his signature.
Manuel Pellegrini has hinted that Oxford will have to leave the club if he wants to play regular first-team football.
The 20-year-old first caught the eye when he started against Arsenal as a 16-year-old on the opening day of the 2015/16 season.
Arsenal were keen on a move for Oxford before he penned his last deal and now the player will wait patiently to try and secure a move.
Unai Emery was forced to deny that the club are interested in Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
When asked if they had bid for the Costa Rica he replied: “Not true.
“We never speak about one goalkeeper because I think - and it's true - we are very happy with the three goalkeepers we have now.
“We've never spoken about Keylor Navas."
