Oxford United are pursuing the signing of Kyreece Lisbie, a 22-year-old winger who scored 11 goals and managed eight assists in 45 League Two appearances last season. The U's reportedly met with Lisbie as they look to secure his services ahead of the 2026/27 League One campaign. Thames Valley rivals Reading pulled out of the race earlier this month, but Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday have since joined the competition for Lisbie's signature. Lisbie is also the son of former Premier League and EFL striker, Kevin Lisbie. Matt Bloomfield's Oxford held interest in the winger in January but were blocked by Colchester United's chairman. An estimated fee of between £500-750K is Colchester's current asking price. After their relegation from the Championship, Oxford are looking to bolster and fill gaps in the squad after 15 players were released and had their loan spells end last month. The Yellows finished 22nd in the second tier, two places above rock-bottom side Wednesday, with whom they are competing for Lisbie's services. Lisbie appeared on the right wing most frequently for Colchester last term, with the Essex club finishing 12th in the fourth tier. Oxford only have Stan Mills as a pure right midfielder, so the signing of Lisbie would provide some healthy competition and quality backup for Mills. The U's are yet to make their first signing of the summer after the transfer window officially opened on Monday. Lisbie played for the academies of Leyton Orient, Watford, and Brentford during his youth before experiencing his first taste of senior football for Cray Valley Paper Mills. He moved to Colchester from Brentford B in early 2025 and spent a brief time on loan with Braintree Town at the end of the 2024/25 season. The Englishman won the Young Player of the Year award at Colchester's end of season awards. Oxford United's manager, Matt Bloomfield, will be hoping to secure Lisbie's signature to strengthen his squad for the upcoming season.
