Championship club Fulham could be forced to cash in on Premier League interest around Ryan Fredericks with Swansea and Stoke City needing a right-back.
Ryan Sessegnon is not the only full-back Fulham could struggle to keep hold of this month.
The Daily Mail states that flying right-sider Ryan Fredericks is a target for two Premier League clubs in the January transfer window – Swansea and Stoke City.
And while Fulham are holding all the cards with Sessegnon, free to demand a huge fee for the teenager after he agreed a three-year deal with the club back in June, it seems they may be railroaded into selling Fredericks sooner rather than later.
The jet-heeled 25-year-old is out of contract in the summer, meaning Fulham will now consider offers of around £3 million for one of the Championship’s most exciting right-backs.
Swansea’s interest should come as no surprise given that Kyle Naughton, who like Fredericks is a former Tottenham Hotspur defender, struggling for form this season. Meanwhile, Angel Rangel is 35 these days so a better back-up option is required.
Fredericks would also look a good addition for Stoke, who have had to throw the struggling youngster Tom Edwards into a baptism of fire in recent months due to the injury problems suffered by Glen Johnson.
Fredericks has been a regular in Fulham’s starting XI this season, setting up four goals in 25 Championship appearances, just one less than his tally from 2016/17.
