Fulham will look to sign Middlesbrough right-back Cyrus Christie if they lose Ryan Fredericks, according to Sky Sports.
Fredericks has been the subject of interest from Premier League side Swansea City in this transfer window but as it stands the Cottagers have not received a bid for him. His contract expires in the summer which has left his future at Craven Cottage up in the air.
Fulham will move for Cyrus Christie if Fredericks goes today. Their boss Slavisa Jokanovic is believed to be a big fan of the Middlesbrough right-back.
Christie, who is a Republic of Ireland international, only joined Boro in the summer from Derby County and has played 25 games for them this season. He was signed by Garry Monk, who was replaced by Tony Pulis and it is yet to be known whether he is part of his loan term plans.
The 25 year-old would be a perfect replacement for Fredericks at Fulham. He is an experienced full back and is arguably one of the best in the Championship. Middlesbrough fans will not want to lose him as they will feel the best is yet to come from him yet.
Christie started his career at Coventry and was snapped up by Derby County in 2014. He spent three years with the Rams and played over 100 games for them. He moved to Boro for an undisclosed fee in the summer and actually scored his first goal for them away to Fulham in September.
Although this move is unlikely as it stands, if Fredericks does leave Fulham today then expect them to go in for Christie.
