Arsenal favourites to land 26-year-old attacker

Arsenal are reportedly the front-runners to sign Ryan Fraser when his contract with Bournemouth concludes at the end of the season.

The Scotland international was the subject of interest from the Gunners last summer but the Cherries made it clear that he was not for sale.

Fraser has since struggled for form in the Premier League and he has bagged just one goal and four assists from his 28 appearances.

According to The Mail, Fraser is set to leave the Cherries on a free this summer and the Gunners are confident of landing his services.

Tottenham Hotspur have pulled out of the race for Fraser in recent weeks and the Gunners only face competition in the form of Crystal Palace.

They should be able to provide the 26-year-old a tempting salary package compared to the Eagles despite their tight financial situation.

The Gunners are looking into free transfer and swap deals this summer. Willian and Layvin Kurzawa are some of the other players on their radar.
