Many Crystal Palace fans are discussing the latest rumours which suggest the club are interested in winger Ryan Fraser, who refused to extend his contract at Bournemouth, according to The Guardian.
Newcastle and Watford are still interested, whilst Arsenal and Tottenham who were interested in the past are currently not pursuing the winger.
The Scottish international, who has 16 Premier League goals to his name, enjoyed his best campaign in England’s top flight back in the 2018/19 season. That year he managed seven goals and 14 assists, per WhoScored, whilst averaging 1.3 shots and 2.4 key passes a game, as well as being fouled 1.8 times per match.
This highlights that Fraser is definitely a good Premier League player when at his best. Whilst he has not been at his best this term, it is worth remembering that his current club are 18th in the Premier League, via BBC Sport, so it’s not like it is just him at the Cherries who has had a bad campaign.
Fraser is a creative winger, just like Wilfried Zaha, who is constantly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, so he could be a decent option to replace the winger if he does leave this summer.
Here is what fans said following the news:
📰 Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Watford are all interested in Ryan Fraser, although he is yet to receive any concrete offers.
Arsenal and Tottenham were previously interested, but neither side are thought to be pursuing the winger.

He ran down his contract at Aberdeen to join Bournemouth and just done the same at Bournemouth too apparently saying he didn’t play for the team this season
Before hearing this I wouldn’t mind it if we got him but not too sure now if we need a player like that who just gives up

Would be a really good signing. He’d fit into Roy’s system perfectly. https://t.co/doI3hRYUXV
