Wolves are interested in signing Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks, according to the Daily Mirror.

The newspaper claims in its live transfer blog (11:09am, Monday) that the Championship title winners are keen on the 25-year-old, as they begin preparations for next season back in the top flight.

It is understood that West Ham have also been monitoring the attack-minded right-back, who has been a stand out in the Championship this campaign for third-placed Fulham

The Sun also reported on Monday that Crystal Palace and Arsenal are also in pursuit of the in-demand full-back.

Fredericks has been a great attacking influence for promotion chasers Fulham this campaign and weighed in with a stunning tally of 10 assists in the league.

Good move for Wolves?

Fredericks has all the attributes of a modern day full-back and looks ready to compete in the Premier League.

The defender is renowned for his blistering pace and has sharpened up his end product this campaign at Craven Cottage.

Matt Doherty has been the outstanding option at right-back for Wolves this season and deserves a crack at Molineux next season, but adding Fredericks to the mix could provide the competition required in Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad.

Likely to happen?

Fredericks deal with Fulham expires in the contract and there is no surprise that a number of clubs have been linked with him.

It would take some serious work for Wolves to pull off a deal for him and would have to fight off teams they will be competing in the Premier League with next season.
