Everton winning the race to sign Premier League winger

Everton are understood to be leading the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Ryan Fraser on a free transfer.

The Scotland international has recently refused to extend his deal beyond June 30 and he is expected to become a free-agent at the end of the month.

Gunners and Spurs have been mentioned as the leading candidates to sign the forward in recent weeks but The Mail claims that the Toffees are leading the queue.

Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti is said to be determined to bring Fraser to Goodison Park and reports claim that Fraser has told his Cherries teammates that he will make the switch to Merseyside next month.

Fraser has struggled for form during the course of the current Premier League campaign and he has bagged just one goal and four assists from 28 appearances.

Still, he has remained highly valued by a number of Premier League sides and it appears that the Toffees are now the front-runners to sign him on a Bosman transfer.
