TURN OF FRASE Arsenal will step up transfer interest in assist king Ryan Fraser after Europa League final as Man Utd end pursuit

ARSENAL will step up their pursuit for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser after the Europa League final, according to reports.

The 25-year-old has been a huge hit for Eddie Howe's side this season, scoring eight goals and making 15 assists in 42 appearances.

Ryan Fraser joined Bournemouth from Aberdeen in 2013

According to The Independent, the Gunners are hopeful of signing Fraser for less than his £30million valuation.

The source also claims Manchester United are no longer interested in signing the seven-cap Scotland international.

Liverpool have been linked, but reports suggest Jurgen Klopp's men are more interested in signing him on a free deal next summer.

CHERRY PICKER

Fraser joined Bournemouth from Aberdeen in 2013 and he is entering the final year of his current contract.

The Cherries want to tie him down with a new deal, but he has already flirted with the idea of joining Arsenal.

When asked about joining Unai Emery's side, Fraser said: "I'm not going to lie, it's very nice.

"It means you are doing something right. They are a huge club, a massive club.

"When you see your name thrown around you always think to yourself that you are a Bournemouth player and you try to do well.

"I am not going to lie, you do feel good, especially when it's a massive club."
