Journalist says West Ham duo "have no future" at club, Moyes may have to start one on Thursday

Arthur Masuaku and Ryan Fredericks have no future at West Ham, according to journalist Paul Brown.

Neither of the full-back pair have played regularly under David Moyes this season, and Brown expects them to be moved on this summer.

Masuaku featured in 10 consecutive games from November to January but hasn’t played a minute in the Premier League since the middle of January, with Aaron Cresswell Moyes’ number one left-back.

Meanwhile, Fredericks’ game-time has improved of late, but he’s only started one league match all season and was dragged off at half-time against Newcastle last month, with the former Fulham and Tottenham right-back behind Ben Johnson and Vladimir Coufal in the pecking order.

Furthermore, Fredericks, who’s played 73 times in his three years with the Hammers, is out of contract and isn’t expected to be offered a new deal at the London Stadium, although Masuaku, who’s turned out 126 times in a West Ham shirt, still has two years left on his contract.

Regardless, Brown reckons that both players will depart this summer, with West Ham likely to upgrade on the duo when the window reopens.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “There are full backs at West Ham that have no future there, like Masuaku and Fredericks, so it wouldn’t surprise me for the two of those to go and West Ham try and strengthen.”

Fredericks is not only essentially third choice right-back, but he’s a free agent at the end of the campaign, and the signs all point towards the Hammers letting him depart.
