Ryan Fredericks is leaving West Ham after the club missed their deadline to offer him a new deal, Football Insider understands.

The Londoners had until the third Saturday in May to agree an extension with the 29-year-old.

But a West Ham source has told Football Insider that the path is now clear for Fredericks to find a new club.

West Ham

It will bring to an end his four-year spell in east London.

A number of clubs at home and abroad, including his former club Fulham, are eyeing up moves for the right-back this summer.

Fredericks has been the third-choice right-back at the London Stadium this season.

Irons manager David Moyes has preferred Ben Johnson and Vladimir Coufal on the right-hand side of his defence.

Fredericks joined the Hammers in July 2018 but his time at the club has been characterised by injury.

The right-back has made just 15 appearances across all competitions this season.

His last start came in a 2-1 loss to Arsenal at the beginning of this month.

A move to Fulham would see Fredericks re-join the club he left for West Ham four years ago.

The Cottagers won the Championship this season to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Andriy Yarmolenko and David Martin also look set to exit the London Stadium at the expiration of their contracts next month.

Mark Noble has already confirmed his departure from his boyhood club.
