Unlike Cadden, the 23-year-old, who joined the club on deadline day, made just one appearance for the U\u2019s in the Football League Trophy match against Crawley Town.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But Robinson is exploring the possibility of bringing in another winger and, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ExWHUemployee\/status\/1212857229080190977?s=19\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ExWHUemployee<\/a>, West Ham United winger Nathan Holland could be the one.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The 21-year-old has been in fine form in the Premier League 2, leading the assist charts with seven and scoring eleven goals from just twelve games. He also featured against the U&#8217;s when Robinson&#8217;s side dumped the Hammers out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/oxford.vitalfootball.co.uk\/match-report-carabao-cup-oxford-united-4-0-west-ham-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carabao Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Who Else Could Leave?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So far, two players have left but given the U&#8217;s impressive campaign, it&#8217;s likely other players will be targeted. One of those is midfielder Alex Rodriguez Gorrin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The 26-year-old Spaniard has been linked with a move to Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/exclusive-blackburn-rovers-plot-raid-to-sign-spanish-midfielder\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pete O&#8217;Rourke at Football Insider.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The former Motherwell man has been a key part of the U&#8217;s squad this season, providing cover in front of a solid back four but also allowing the clubs create midfielders to push forward and create chances.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Losing Gorrin would be a huge blow, but at this moment in time, no move away from the Kassam Stadium is concrete.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Cs8KS4MISwN4gjmSssCCvw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1190490087\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Cs8KS4MISwN4gjmSssCCvw',sig:'D-qaeBkcy_JYhH91c3-U6II3WF9iT_hDXEg157exTjo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1190490087',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The January transfer window has only been open for a matter of days, but movements are already rife at Oxford United.
