Crystal Palace are eyeing up a move for free agent winger Ryan Fraser, according to the Telegraph.

The rapid wideman left Bournemouth before the end of the season because his contract expired on June 30.

That means Fraser, 26, is looking for a new club this summer and Palace are considering a swoop, according to the report.

Any move for Fraser is not linked to Wilfried Zaha’s future at Selhurst Park, although of course they both can operate on either wing.

Fraser has 11 caps for Scotland since making his debut in 2017 and impressed during the 2018/19 Premier League season.

His form last term wasn’t so impressive, but on a Bosman and aged just 26, he should represent decent value for money in a tricky transfer climate this summer.

The Times reported in June that Fraser is seeking a £100,000-a-week deal at any potential suitor.

It remains to be seen what impact that would have on any potential Palace interest, but that’s a large wage demand for a player who scored just one Premier League goal last term.
