According to The Mirror, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are interested in signing Bournemouth’s 25-year-old winger Ryan Fraser in the summer.

The report states that the Cherries star has made the decision to leave the south coast in the summer after having an incredible season with them. Fraser found the net eight times and provided a stunning 15 assists in all competitions this term and losing him will undoubtedly be a huge blow.

However, Eddie Howe will have the hard task of replacing his star Scotsman if he leaves in the summer and one player who would be an incredible signing is Brentford’s Said Benrahma.

The Algerian international has been a shining light for the Bees this season for whom he has scored 11 goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions. Benrahma was one of the biggest reasons why Brentford finished as high as they did and he would certainly be a star in the Premier League next season.

The 23-year-old, like Fraser, is capable of playing anywhere across the front three and his tricks and skills on the ball is sure to bring Cherries fans to their feet. Benrahma possesses a gem of a right foot and is incredibly composed in front of goal.

Standing at just 5 feet 8 inches tall, Benrahma’s uses his low centre of gravity to twist and turn away from his marker and once he’s free, he is almost impossible to catch. The Algerian is immensely composed in front of goal and also has the ability to score from distance, from open play as well as from free-kicks.

As hard as losing Fraser would be, Eddie Howe will need to bring in an able replacement for him in the summer and he cannot possibly go wrong with Said Benrahma. The 23-year-old is at the right stage of his career to make the big step up to the Premier League and Bournemouth would be the perfect place for him to showcase his skills.
