Fredericks gets 200pc rise with Irons

Ryan Fredericks will get a 200 per cent rise in wages when he joins West Ham next week as he lands a £50k a week deal with the club.

ClaretandHugh has learned the super quick right back was on a Championship level wage of £15k a week at Fulham and that the Cottagers were not prepared to take him up to the £40k a week he wanted and which they pay to top earner Tom Cairney.

However, Fredericks will now surpass the midfielder by around £10k a week when he finally puts pen to paper which is expected  to happen on Monday when he holds formal talks after retrning from Las Vegas where he and the remainder of the Fulham squad have been celebrating promotion on a club break.

Fredericks will sign a four year deal with the Hammers but reports that he has already signed for the club are wrong and the formalities are confidently expected to have been completed by Monday.
