West Ham are reportedly in talks with Fulham full back Ryan Fredericks, as the Hammers wish to sign the defender, according to Lee Clayton.
Fredericks played the huge majority of the Championship Play-Off Final, which the Cottagers won 1-0 against Aston Villa.
Fredericks has been almost ever present for Fulham this season,and although he hasn’t scored a single goal throughout the whole campaign, he has been a crucial part of Slavisa Jokanovic’s side, who went unbeaten from early December up until the last day of the season.
The 25-year-old is ready to light up the Premier League, but Manuel Pellegrini may want him to make his top flight debut in claret and blue rather than white.
Pellegrini is yet to make his first signing as West Ham United boss, but could see to keep Fredericks in London, where he has played most of his career.
The Hammers are also being linked with a move for Villa star Jack Grealish, but it is the defence which the new boss will see as his priority
So Pellegrini could see his first signing swap West London for East London on a free transfer.
