West Ham have confirmed the signing of right-back Ryan Fredericks from Fulham.
The 25-year-old has signed a four-year contract to become new manager Manuel Pellegrini’s first signing when his present terms with Fulham expire from July 1.
“It’s amazing for this deal to finally happen,” Fredericks told his new club’s official website. “I know we’ve been speaking about it for a while and trying to get things in place and finally, we’ve got it over the line. I’m just buzzing to be here.
“West Ham United is one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. Everyone knows the history of West Ham and there’s a lot of factors that brought me to the club.
“Obviously, it’s an exciting time for West Ham. The club have just brought in a new manager in Manuel Pellegrini and everyone knows his CV and what he has done in England before and in other leagues as well. I’m sure I can learn a lot from him.”
