West Ham United and Crystal Palace have been linked with Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks in the summer transfer window.
According to The London Evening Standard, West Ham and Palace are interested in signing the Fulham defender in the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old’s current contract with the Cottagers runs out this summer, according to Transfermarkt.com.
Fredericks has suggested that he wants to remain at Fulham and play with the Cottagers in the Premier League next season, having helped the London club to promotion from the Championship.
“It’s up to the people behind the scenes but I’m sure everyone will want to stay and play at the highest level with Fulham and see what we can achieve,” Fredericks told The London Evening Standard. “Can this club allow me to fulfil my ambitions? Of course.
“You look at the players we’re attracting, like Aleksandar Mitrovic, we’ve already got Premier League players in the Championship so I’m sure we’re going to build again and have many years in the Premier League.”
Stay or leave?
Fredericks’s aforementioned comments suggest that he wants to play for Fulham next season as well, and it would make sense for the Cottagers to hand him a new contract.
However, if the 25-year-old is unable to reach an agreement with Fulham, then the defender would not have any shortage of offers.
With West Ham and Palace (reportedly) interested in the former Tottenham Hotspur prospect, it is clear that he is rated highly.
