West Ham United have reportedly joined the race to sign in-demand right-back Ryan Fredericks from London rivals Fulham.
The 25-year-old has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in English football due to his contract situation at Craven Cottage.
Fredericks, named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year, is due to be out of contract once the Cottagers' campaign comes to an end.
Following interest from Arsenal and Crystal Palace, the London Evening Standard reports that West Ham will attempt to persuade the former England Under-19s international to join them instead.
Fulham have offered Fredericks a new-and-improved contract, but he only intends to sign it if they beat Aston Villa in next week's Championship playoff final.
