Ryan Fraser could be on his way to Anfield with Harry Wilson going the other way as Premier League challengers Liverpool look to strengthen.
Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Ryan Fraser from Bournemouth in the January transfer window, according to talkSPORT, with Harry Wilson potentially going the other way.
It has been a difficult season so far for the jet-heeled Scotland international. After producing a staggering six Premier League goals and 14 assists in 2018/19 (a tally only Eden Hazard could better), Fraser has failed to set the world alight during a sluggish start to the campaign for Eddie Howe’s side.
Though a series of ineffective displays do not appear to have put Liverpool off.
The Champions of Europe are apparently in talks to tie up a cut-price deal for Fraser in the winter with Bournemouth dropping his price-tag substantially, to around the £15 million mark. The 25-year-old is out of contract next summer after all and £15 million, while far less than they would have demanded over the summer, is still better than nothing.
Liverpool could even let Wilson, who has impressed since joining Bournemouth on loan over the summer, stay on the south coast permanently to sweeten the deal.
Fraser famously shot to fame when he came off the bench to terrorise the Liverpool defence as The Cherries came from behind to seal a famous 4-3 win against Jurgen Klopp’s side in December 2016.
And reports that Liverpool are hoping to get a deal done in January suggests that Klopp is keen to add some depth to his side ahead of what is likely to be a gruelling season for a club competing on so many fronts and battling against a monstrous fixture list.
