Newcastle United are reportedly keen on Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser.
According to The Chronicle, Newcastle United have been looking at Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser ahead of a possible summer move.
The Magpies smashed their transfer record in January to sign Miguel Almiron from Atlanta United, and he has shown flashes of his quality.
Rafael Benitez’s future remains up in the air with his contract expiring this summer, but the Spaniard may well stay at St James’ Park if given assurances over spending in the transfer market.
Another winger may well be on Benitez’s radar if he chooses to go back to a 4-2-3-1, which would allow Almiron to play as the 10, and a wide man has been linked.
The Chronicle report that Newcastle have been eyeing up Bournemouth winger Fraser, in what would certainly be an ambitious move.
Fraser, 25, has become one of the Premier League’s most productive wingers this season, notching six goals and 10 assists, attracting major interest in the process.
The Mirror claim Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in Fraser, meaning Newcastle would face a major battle if they took the bold step to firm up their interest in the Scottish international.
Newcastle could look to offer up winger Matt Ritchie back to Bournemouth to try and secure the upper hand in the pursuit for Fraser, but with such huge competition, a move to Tyneside seems unlikely for the diminutive Bournemouth ace.
