Crystal Palace are willing to put together an ‘attractive financial package’ for Ryan Fraser, as they look to beat West Ham United to his signature, according to Sky Sports.
Fraser remains a free agent following his release from Bournemouth, and it is thought that Palace and West Ham are both keen to land him.
The Eagles are now prepared to make their move though, and are said to be prepared to offer him a big contract in their bid to win the race.
Palace may need additions out wide, as doubts remain over the future of star man Wilfried Zaha.
West Ham also feel that Fraser, who former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe labelled as ‘incredible’ to BBC Sport, could enhance the quality of their attack, although their need for another wide-man may not be quite as great.
West Ham already have Grady Diangana, Michail Antonio, Andriy Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson and Pablo Fornals who are comfortable playing in wide areas, and it remains to be seen whether they would be prepared to match Palace’s financial offer for Fraser.
Fraser didn’t have his most productive campaign last season, but he provided 14 assists in the 2018/19 season, and whoever signs him will hope to get him back to his best.
