Eddie Howe has revealed that Arsenal and Liverpool target Ryan Fraser is “keeping his options open” amid the current transfer interest in him.
The winger is currently set to be out of contract next summer and, according to Football London, Howe believes the winger could well be set for a move away from the Vitality Stadium.
In terms of his contract, that’s obviously for him to decide what he wants to do with his future,” Howe told reporters. We would love him to stay and commit to us but, if not, we need to get the best out of him between now and the end of the season.
We’ve had conversations with Ryan to try and persuade him to stay but, at the moment, he’s keeping his options open.
READ ARSENAL VERDICT
After Howe revealed Fraser is keeping his options open, Arsenal may well look to reignite their summer interest in the 25-year-old.
Though he is not enjoying as good a season as he did in the 2018/19 campaign, Fraser could still prove a useful addition, especially considering how he is out of contract next summer.
Liverpool and Everton have both been credited with an interest in him recently, however, so the Gunners could face competition if they do make a move for the Scotland international.
