Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Ryan Fraser.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal are eyeing up a summer deal for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser – but Tottenham Hotspur are also watching him for a possible move.

Fraser, 25, joined Bournemouth from Aberdeen in 2013, and has really become a key player for the Cherries over the last couple of seasons.

The Scotland international has been a star this season, notching six goals and 10 assists; only Chelsea’s Eden Hazard has notched more assists than Fraser this season.

A diminutive winger with pace, quality on the ball and a great work ethic, Fraser is an all-round winger and seriously underrated at this point, but it’s no great surprise that Fraser is now attracting interest.

The Mirror claim that Arsenal have had ‘glowing reports’ from their scouts on Fraser, and could launch a summer move as Unai Emery targets a new wide man.

However, it’s added that bitter rivals Tottenham are also tracking Fraser, meaning they may well have something to say if Arsenal try to firm up their interest in the winger.

Bournemouth will be under little pressure to sell in a financial sense, but playing in Europe is the next step up for Fraser, and he may well be tempted if the two North London giants firm up their interest.
