Fulham have barely finished celebrating promotion to the Premier League but they have already come across their first challenge of the summer transfer window.

Right-back Ryan Fredericks is out of contract and a number of Premier League sides have not been put off making a move for him despite Fulham's promotion to the top flight.

According to reports today, Fredericks will snub a new deal at Fulham to join West Ham United, who have been long-term admirers of the 25-year-old.

The former England youth international was instrumental for the Cottagers this season, earning himself a spot in the EFL Championship Team of the Year too.

If the former Tottenham Hotspur youngster does leave, Fulham need to bring in a new player to rival Cyrus Christie for a starting spot at Craven Cottage.

Here are three players Fulham must consider targeting to replace Fredericks if he does leave this summer.

Ward is out of contract at London rivals Crystal Palace and this could be a good cheap move for Fulham.

The 28-year-old is experienced, reliable and might fancy this move as he would not have to relocate.

Alternatively, Fulham could look to raid recently-relegated West Brom by signing Dawson.

The 28-year-old was their standout performer this year despite their relegation and a number of Premier League clubs are keen.

Another option Fulham could pursue is a foreign important like Udinese right-back Widmer.

The 25-year-old is very highly-rated in Italy and he could be one to cast your eye over during this summer's World Cup when he turns out for Switzerland.
