Arsenal ‘unlikely’ to pursue Fraser – Why the Gunners should steer clear

Arsenal are unlikely to make a January move for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser, according to a report on Football London.

The Gunners were strongly linked with a move for the Scottish international during the summer transfer window but eventually decided to sign Nicolas Pepe.

Fraser has been a consistent performer in the Premier League for the last few seasons but has somewhat struggled this term, finding it hard to hold down a starting position.

His contract expires at the end of the season and a few clubs will certainly have their eyes on him, but is it the right decision if Arsenal chooses to not pursue a deal to sign him?

READ ARSENAL VERDICT 

It would almost definitely be the right decision. The Gunners are not in need of Fraser at the moment, especially because of the breakthrough of young talent Bukayo Saka this season.

As a rotational player, he could be of some use to the Gunners, however, his current form isn’t doing him any favours.

The 25-year-old’s best chance to join the north London club was in the summer and the fact that the club overlooked him then means they’re highly unlikely to turn to him in January.
