Fredericks is currently in the United States with the Fulham squad after they clinched promotion to the Premier League with a Championship play-off final triumph at Wembley last Saturday.
The defender was an integral member of the team that finished third in the division before ending their three-year stay in the English tier with the 1-0 win against Aston Villa.
Spurs academy product Fredericks made 47 appearances for Fulham in 2017-18 and was named in the Championship team of the season.
West Ham fans are excited about the prospect of signing such a polished performer, who will also provide a major attacking threat on the right flank with his extreme pace and crossing ability.
