David Moyes is preparing for his revolution at West Ham and a host of changes are likely to be made this summer, where a number of players could be offloaded.

The Hammers have been widely linked with the services of Fulham full-back Ryan Fredericks, who is set to become a free agent when his contract with the Cottagers expires at the end of the season, and it seems that signing the 25-year-old will spell the exit for one recent signing.

Football.LondonĀ report that West Ham will offload Sam Byram in the close season if Fredericks moves across London, bringing an end to what has been a disappointing spell with the Hammers for the defender.

Byram signed for West Ham two summers ago but has made just 17 Premier League starts since after being plagued by injuries, including just two this season.

The capture of Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer last summer gave Byram further hurdles to overcome in his quest for first-team football and the potential arrival of Fredericks would leave the writing on the door for the 24-year-old.
