Fraser would deserve a big move

Don't get me wrong, I would love Ryan Fraser to see out his playing days at AFCB. He has been a breath of fresh air during his time on the south coast and I don't think there is a more consistent player in Bournemouth's team. But if Arsenal and Tottenham do come in for him with big money this summer, then he deserves his chance to play in Europe for a top six side.
Ryan Fraser is on his way to the top.
I can't think of any player in the Bournemouth team who has worked harder than Fraser. He will have overtaken most of the players at the club seeing that he was loaned out in the first season when AFCB were in the Premier League. Now he is being scouted by some of the top cubs in the country, according to tho Bournemouth Echo. It would be a big decision for Ryan to have to make, but I'd suspect he would be advised to take the transfer and increase his earning power as well as his reputation by playing for perhaps a London club. He may, of course, prefer to wait for a Manchester club anyway to be closer to Scotland.

Bournemouth has been a great proving ground for him. He has done all that has been expected of him and more. Having become the top left sided player, his only task that has escaped him so far is player of the year. He has been close a couple of times, but it may be that we don't get to see him try again after this season.



Eddie Howe will do everything he can to keep Ryan at the club. Howe wants a young side to build upon and continue their journey hopefully into Europe at Bournemouth. But it is one thing to compete against the Brighton's, Burnley's and Watford's and quite another to try and hold off bids from Arsenal and Tottenham.

Replacing Ryan would be a challenge but Howe has proved that he can find wingers who he can develop and make internationals of. He may have to go back into the market again this summer and could have another go at trying to lure Damarai Gray away from Leicester. Whatever the case, Ryan Fraser has become one of the best left wingers in the Premier League for sure.
