According to The Sun, Arsenal have registered a surprise interest in snapping up Fulham right back Ryan Fredericks on a free transfer this summer.

The Gunners will be in the market for new signings this summer having failed to land a top four spot this season, and fans will be hoping that Arsene Wenger splashes the cash – if he keeps his job.

However, it seems that Arsenal are instead eyeing up a bargain, as it’s claimed that they want to land Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks on a free transfer this summer.

Fredericks, 25, has starred for Fulham this season, racking up seven assists in 41 games from right back as he has played a key role under Slavisa Jokanovic.

The report claims that Arsenal have been impressed with Fredericks’ displays this season, and are now considering snapping him up in a bargain free transfer deal.

Fredericks actually came up through the ranks with Arsenal’s bitter rivals Tottenham, but could head to the Emirates Stadium in a shock switch this summer.

West Ham United have been lining Fredericks up for a move to the London Stadium this summer, but Arsenal could now swoop in and hijack their interest with a surprise offer, ruining the Hammers’ plans.
