Norwich City, Middlesbrough transfer target in advanced talks with Premier League club

Norwich City and Middlesbrough’s reported target Ryan Fredericks is said to be in advanced talks over a move to Premier League side Bournemouth.

Norwich City and Middlesbrough (The Mail on Sunday, 12.06.21, via Hammers.news) have both been credited with interest in Fredericks this summer after his departure from Premier League side West Ham.

The Hammers’ decision to let the right-sided ace move on opens the door for him to make a free transfer switch ahead of the new season.

Now, a new update has dealt a blow to Norwich City and Middlesbrough’s hopes of striking a deal.

According to Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam, Premier League new boys Bournemouth are now in talks to sign Fredericks.

Discussions are said to be at an advanced stage as Cherries boss Scott Parker prepares his side for top-flight football, and it seems a new right-back is on his radar.

Staying in the Premier League?

A signing of Fredericks’ pedigree would certainly make for a good addition for either the Canaries or Boro this summer.

He has over 140 Championship appearances to his name and last season’s seven Premier League outings took him to 62 appearances in England’s top-flight too. With that in mind though, it’s no wonder a team like Bournemouth are looking to wrap up a deal as Parker bids to add some Premier League pedigree to his ranks.

While it would be a blow for Norwich City and Middlesbrough if Fredericks ends up joining Bournemouth, the consolation is that there is plenty of time left in the window to pursue alternatives.

Both Dean Smith and Chris Wilder will be looking to build promotion-winning squads this summer, and Fredericks would have been a smart addition.
