According to The Times, Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser wants a huge deal worth around £100,000-a-week when he moves on this summer.

On Wednesday, Fraser refused a short-term deal to stay with Bournemouth. His contract ends on June 30th, and Bournemouth had wanted him to sign a short-term extension to see out the delayed season.

However, Fraser has decided that he doesn’t want to play for the Cherries moving forward. He is available for their next two games, but whether Bournemouth actually pick him remains to be seen.

The 26-year-old will soon be free to move on, though he can’t play until next season. Now, it’s claimed that Fraser wants a staggering £100,000-a-week at his next club.

Fraser currently earns £27,000-a-week at Bournemouth, so he would be demanding to almost quadruple his wages when he makes his move this summer.

The Mirror report that Fraser wants a move to Tottenham, though Arsenal and a host of other clubs have been linked with signing the Scotland international.

Tottenham have been hit by the global pandemic, and it’s hard to see them forking out £100,000-a-week for Fraser, who would likely be a squad player under Jose Mourinho.

Add in that Fraser’s stats dropped from seven goals and 14 assists in 2018-19 to one goal and four assists this season, and it’s hard to justify such a huge pay rise – and we will now see whether he manages to land that kind of money.
