West Ham eye Championship raid of Fulham

 

West Ham manager David Moyes is interested in signing Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks on a free transfer at the end of the season, claims The Daily Mail.

 

The 25-year-old’s current Fulham deal is due to expire at the end of the season and he is on course to leave for nothing.

 

Fredericks could still pen new terms with the Cottagers but that will likely hinge on whether they secure promotion to the Premier League.

 

West Ham will need to sign a new right-back in the summer as first choice defender Pablo Zabaleta will turn 34 midway through next season.

Fredericks has started 39 of Fulham’s 41 matches in the Championship this season, registering an impressive tally of seven assists from right-back - more than any other team-mate. 

 

Moyes was at Craven Cottage to watch Fredericks in Fulham's 2-0 win over Leeds last week and the defender garnered a WhoScored rating of 7.51.
