Fulham right-back Ryan Fredericks has agreed a deal to join West Ham United upon the expiry of his contract with the Cottagers.
The BBC report that the 25-year-old has signed a four-year deal to become new boss Manuel Pellegrini’s first signing at the club.
Fredericks moved to West London from Bristol City in the summer of 2015 and made his debut in a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers in September of that year.
Since then, the ex-Tottenham youth prospect has established himself as one of the league’s best full-backs, culminating in him being named in the PFA’S Championship Team of the Year.
Fredericks made a total of 114 appearances for the Whites, with the last coming in the 1-0 Play-off final victory over Aston Villa last month.
On his new venture, Fredericks said:
It’s an exciting time for West Ham. The club have just brought in a new manager and everyone knows his CV and what he has done.
It just felt like, for the next step of my career, I would be best suited coming here.
