Oxford United are set to complete a permanent deal for Chelsea goalkeeper Jamie Cumming.

This latest news is coming from journalist Alan Nixon, who has reported via his Patreon that the 24-year-old, who spent the latter half of last season on loan with Des Buckingham’s side, helping them to win promotion via the play-offs, is set to sign a full-time deal with the U’s.

Oxford have had a strong summer so far, adding the likes of Will Vaulks and Peter Kioso to their squad as they prepare for their first season in the second tier of English football in 25 years.

Cumming will become the second shot-stopping addition of the window, following on from Oxford’s deal to bring in Jacob Knightbridge from West Ham United.
