Fulham duo Ryan Fredericks and Tom Cairney could be heading to West Ham United this summer.

Fulhams's Ryan Fredericks battles with Hull City's Jarrod Bowen during the Sky Bet Championship match between Hull City and Fulham at KCOM Stadium on December 30, 2017 in Hull, England.

According to TEAMtalk, West Ham United are confident that Fulham duo Ryan Fredericks and Tom Cairney will join the club this summer.

The Hammers haven’t yet secured their Premier League status, but with David Moyes now looking likely to keep his job for next season, plans for summer signings may now be well underway.

A host of arrivals may be needed to prevent another relegation battle next season, and reports suggest that two players could be on Moyes’ radar this summer.

TEAMtalk report that West Ham now believe that Fulham pair Ryan Fredericks and Tom Cairney will sign for the club this summer, in a double raid on their London rivals.

Tom Cairney of Fulham celebrates scoring his side's second goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Norwich City and Fulham at Carrow Road on March 30, 2018 in Norwich, England.

Right back Fredericks, 25, was in the Tottenham ranks before establishing himself with Fulham, and he has starred with seven assists for Slavisa Jokanovic’s men this season.

Out of contract this summer, Fredericks could join West Ham for free, and would offer a pacey, attacking alternative to veteran right back Pablo Zabaleta at West Ham.

Meanwhile, playmaker Cairney has hit four goals and five assists for Fulham this season, and could provide another creative spark for West Ham, with Moyes potentially keen to pair the 27-year-old Scot with Manuel Lanzini.

Cairney would cost a considerable amount, and whilst West Ham may be confident of landing both, much may depend on Fulham’s promotion hopes, given that they may yet be in the Premier League themselves next season.
