West Ham United could sell Ryan Fredericks this summer in order to make room for Max Aarons according to a report from club insiders Claret and Hugh.

Fredericks has so much pace but seems to lack the confidence needed to use it to good effect in the final third.

He quite simply isn’t a very good defender either.

So it would be no surprise to see David Moyes move the former Fulham man on from the London Stadium in the summer.

West Ham to sell Ryan Fredericks?

The right-back’s days in East London could be numbered.

That’s according to Claret and Hugh who claim that the Hammers could sell Fredericks in order to make room for Max Aarons.

The Norwich defender is a summer transfer target for David Moyes according to a report from the Independent.

Aarons could cost around £30 million. With so many other areas of Moyes’s squad in such urgent need of attention, however, West Ham spending so heavily on a right-back would be a really strange move.

This is one that we just cannot see happening.

On the flip-side, however, it would not be a shock whatsoever if the Hammers decided to sell Ryan Fredericks in the summer.

He just hasn’t produced the goods over the past three years. And now might just be time for West Ham and Fredericks to go their separate ways.
