Arsenal reportedly want to bring Ryan Fraser to the Emirates, with the Bournemouth winger grabbing his 13th Premier League assist against Southampton.
With speculation over the future of Ryan Fraser increasing by the week, he did his reputation absolutely no harm on Saturday.
The Bournemouth winger was front and centre in the thrilling 3-3 draw with South Coast rivals Southampton at St Mary’s, producing his 13th assist of a stellar season with a typically jet-heeled burst and pinpoint cross into the path of Callum Wilson.
The fact that Fraser, who has also scored seven goals in 2018/19, could muster such staggering pace with just five minutes remaining highlights the stamina and game-changing qualities that have made him one of the Premier League’s most coveted and underrated players.
According to the Mirror, the 25-year-old is keen to test himself in a top six club with Arsenal joined by Tottenham and Chelsea in expressing an interest. Bournemouth want £15 million, according to the Sun (21 April, page 62), which is a real bargain in 2019.
And, after watching on in horror as Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan flopped in Sunday’s 3-0 thrashing at Leicester City, Arsenal fans would welcome Fraser at the Emirates with open arms.
