North London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with a summer move for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser.
The 26-year-old’s current deal with the Cherries is about to expire in the summer but as things stand he is not likely to put pen on paper to a new deal. And this is why the winger has spiked the interest of a number of big Premier League sides.
Ryan Fraser has featured in 26 league matches this season for Bournemouth but has managed to score only one goal and provide four assists which shows he is not the kind of talent managers like Arteta and Mourinho will be after. But still, teams like Arsenal and Spurs want him since he will not cost a penny.
Will Ryan Fraser choose Arsenal over Spurs?
Arsenal might have taken a slight edge in signing the winger as the 26-year-old has brought a new agent on board.
As per reports, Ryan Fraser has left long-term representative Jon McLeish in order to team up with agent Paul Martin who also happens to be the representative for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
Many people think this is an obvious sign that Fraser is about to join the Gunners but we do not think he will be too keen to move to the Emirates until Aubameyang remains at the club.
Aubameyang has been tipped to move out of the club in the summer but if he hangs around, then all Fraser will do at Arsenal is warm the benches.
This also means Spurs are still in the race to lure the free agent in and some experts believe that if Mourinho can guarantee him regular first-team football then Fraser will join the Lilywhites.
Fraser’s current contract with Bournemouth ends on June 30 but as per the Daily Mail, the Cherries are trying to convince him to sign a new deal at the club.
The report states: “Bournemouth hope to persuade Scotland international Ryan Fraser to extend his contract beyond June 30 so he can help them stay in the Premier League.
“Bournemouth are currently in the bottom three and losing Fraser after only two matches of the restart would be a further blow to manager Eddie Howe in his survival fight.”
