# Virals: West Ham ace Ryan Fredericks could be ‘looking for a new club’

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/24/virals-west-ham-weighing-up-a-move-for-psg-ace-layvin-kurzawa/) full-back [Ryan Fredericks](https://readwestham.com/2021/10/08/virals-west-ham-confident-of-ryan-fredericks-fitness/) could reportedly be ‘looking for a new club’ as the January transfer window approaches.

The 29-year-old has been [relatively underused](https://www.sofascore.com/player/ryan-fredericks/106920) 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44376841)), the London-born ace has made [67 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/140191) as an Iron.

Now according to a report from the [Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-january-transfer-window-david-moyes-b973590.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1640276179), as cited by [Talkin West Ham #GSBOUT](https://twitter.com/TalkinWestHam) on Twitter, Fredericks may be seeking pastures new.

The report claims that the [former England Under 19 starlet](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/nationalmannschaft/spieler/140191/verein_id/21340) could be held back by ‘fitness issues’ as suitors look on.

So far this season Fredericks has made [five fleeting outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdaten/spieler/140191) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/marktwertverlauf/spieler/140191)), 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-fredericks/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/140191) next month.

Coufal is very much [in possession of the shirt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/vladimir-coufal/leistungsdaten/spieler/157672) 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..
