West Ham have secured the signing of Fulham full-back Ryan Fredericks on a four-year deal. 

Fredericks, who earned promotion to the Premier League with the Cottagers last season, will officially join the Hammers on July 1 when his contract with the newly-promoted Premier League club expires. 

“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,” Fredericks told his new club’s official website.

The 25-year-old is Manuel Pellegrini’s first signing as West Ham manager.
