  /  autty

Bournemouth duo Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson have beaten the likes of Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as the most profitable partnership in Europe.

Fraser and Wilson have been the Cherries' stand-out performers this season and a host of clubs have become interested in the pair following their impressive displays.

Striker Wilson has scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in the Premier League this campaign, while winger Fraser has found the net eight times and set up 13 goals.

Scotland international Fraser is joint top of the assists chart alongside Eden Hazard and ahead of Raheem Sterling and Christian Eriksen. He has also created the most big chances in the Premier League — 24.

But it is Fraser's partnership with Wilson in front of goal which has shown just how pivotal the two are to Eddie Howe's side.

Fraser has provided the assists for seven of Wilson's goals in the English top flight, which is the best assist to goalscorer partnership in the top five leagues in Europe.

That combination has beaten Suarez's five assists for five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi.

Three partnerships have recorded six goals, including Newcastle's Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez.

Argentine star Messi has also developed a strong relationship with Arturo Vidal as he has also scored five goals from the Barcelona midfielder's assists.

Fraser and Wilson are just as profitable as the Barcelona stars when their roles are reversed and Wilson is the provider with Fraser notching five goals.

Wolves duo Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez are the fourth Premier League pairing in the top 12 assist to goalscorer combinations.

Jota, who has scored nine goals in the top flight this season, has supplied five assists for Jimenez, who has found the net in total on 13 occasions.
