Arsenal are confident they are leading the pursuit of Ryan Fraser, with the Bournemouth winger set to be a free agent in the summer.
Fraser earned interest from the top six in 2018-19 after providing Eddie Howe's side with 14 assists - the second best tally in the league - and seven goals.
This season has been more challenging for the Scot, tallying just four assists amid the Cherries' tight battle against relegation.
Fraser has not signed a new deal and looks be halfway out the Vitality Stadium exit door, with the Gunners ready to pounce and secure the long-time target for free, according to Teamtalk.
The former Aberdeen man signed for Bournemouth for less than £500,000 in January 2013, when the South-coast side were in League One.
He has gone on to be a valuable member of their fairytale rise to the Premier League under Howe, making 208 appearances.
Fraser will add depth to an Arsenal squad in need of work, with Arteta set for an important summer transfer window.
The Gunners have endured another dramatic season, with Unai Emery and Freddie Ljungberg already having taken the hot-seat this term.
They lie ninth, eight points behind fourth placed Chelsea, and will aim to finally break back into the Champions League after a change of fortunes under Arteta.

I like these kind of players..... Quality doesn't say anything but players who are ready for the club like martinelli are needed.... See Leicester city, they have no quality players buh when you see them playing you see a real team.... Arsenal please get those who are ready for the club.... After all quality players are over hyped

Not that we really need him like that, but at least what has been going around against us (e.g Sanchez and Ramsey leaving on free transfers) will finally come around for us [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

English player, most welcome 👌
He did nothing this season for Bournemouth. Just a one season wonder. I think Arsenal shouldn't sign him if I'm being honest. There are much better midfielders out there.

We won’t go anywhere with this mentality of going for free transfer players, let’s target quality players to build a strong club.

I believe in figures Ryan Frazer? What possibly you would think he would add values as an arsenal players that he already didn’t offer
You believe in everything that you read ..ie Ghost Stories.... You believe in figures 🤔 your comment says nothing about figures 😂 Fraser will bring absolutely nothing to Arsenal and Arsenal always had great players so stop talking like Arsenal didn't have a great player since Bergkamp and Henry.... Basically you're clueless 😂🤣

This is one of the biggest mystries in football ." Where did all of arsenal's money go ?" (No offence) but unless this question is answered they will keep loaning players and buying others for free and that's not gonna get them UCL qualification

When you notice that arsenal used sign the likes of Denis Bergkamp, Robert Pires, Theory Henry and Samir Nasri But today Ryan Fraser as their transfer radar 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Thats when you realize there’re some peaces of ice fragile never recover to their best shape ever and never
All those players you mentioned were signed as unknown or average players at that time and Wenger transformed them don't be quick to judge

Free transfer? Worth a try. Under Arteta he can become a better player. Fraser shows grit on the field which Arteta wants more of.
