West Ham United transfer news: Fulham star Ryan Fredericks set to join next week, but Hammers to miss out on Tom Cairney

West Ham United are set to announce the signing of Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks on a free transfer next week, according to reports.

The defender will become Manuel Pellegrini’s first signing, after agreeing a four-year deal with the east Londoners.

Despite securing promotion to the Premier League with Fulham, the right-back has failed to agree terms on a new deal at Craven Cottage and will depart once his contract officially expires.

According to the Evening Standard, the Hammers are also interested in Tom Cairney; Fredericks’ former captain at the Cottagers.
