West Ham full-back Ryan Fredericks could reportedly be ‘looking for a new club’ as the January transfer window approaches.
The 29-year-old has been relatively underused by David Moyes this season as Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson occupy the right-back role.
Signed from Fulham on a free transfer in 2018 (BBC), the London-born ace has made 67 appearances as an Iron.
Now according to a report from the Evening Standard, as cited by Talkin West Ham #GSBOUT on Twitter, Fredericks may be seeking pastures new.

The report claims that the former England Under 19 starlet could be held back by ‘fitness issues’ as suitors look on.
So far this season Fredericks has made five fleeting outings across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £1.3million and under contract at the London Stadium until the end of the season (Transfermarkt), the defender’s immediate future is certainly in the balance.
Unlikely to be in receipt of a new contract offer anytime soon, the club may benefit from cashing-in on the experienced defender next month.
Coufal is very much in possession of the shirt at present and Johnson would appear to be the future, leaving Fredricks somewhat in no man’s land and perhaps wisely looking for a departure..
