Arsenal believe that they’ll sign Ryan Fraser this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

Arsenal are said to be in competition with Tottenham Hotspur for the Bournemouth winger, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Recent reports have suggested that Fraser wants a move to Spurs, but the Mail claim that Arsenal are secretly confident that he will end up at the Emirates Stadium.

If Arsenal do sign Fraser then he could yet turn into a potential bargain.

Fraser’s form has dipped this season, but he provided 14 assists in the 2018/19 campaign, and if he could recreate that sort of form he would be a brilliant addition to the Gunners’ squad, especially on a free transfer.

Mikel Arteta is likely to want to strengthen in attacking areas, as the future of two of his key strikers remains uncertain.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette still haven’t committed their futures to Arsenal, so Arteta may have to put some plans together to ensure he isn’t left short up top next term.
