According to a recent report by the Sun, Liverpool have joined the race to secure the services of Ryan Fraser from AFC Bournemouth during the summer transfer window. However, the same source has also mentioned that the Reds will face stiff competition from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in pursuit of the £30m-rated winger.
Ryan Fraser’s Excellent Spell At Bournemouth This Season
The Cherries speedster has enjoyed a fabulous campaign at the Vitality Stadium after establishing himself as a regular starter in Eddie Howe’s first-team at the beginning of the season. Fraser has been consistent with his performances and has often produced the goods in the final third. The Aberdeen-born talent is responsible for putting in a string of match-winning displays for Bournemouth which has raised his stock in the transfer market.
The Scottish sensation has featured in 42 matches for the Cherries this term, finding the back of the net eight times while providing 15 assists across multiple competitions. Fraser has also represented Scotland in seven international matches and has registered one goal for his nation thus far.
If the 25-year-old can continue performing on the pitch at a high-level next season, then there is no doubt that he would be a fantastic acquisition for the Reds. However, there is always a chance that he might suffer from the ‘second season syndrome’ and be less productive in the next campaign.
What Will The Scottish Wing Wizard Add To Klopp’s Squad?
Fraser boasts blistering pace which enables him to be a very penetrative dribbler with the ball behind the opposition backline. He tends to keep his cool under pressure and is always willing to go that extra mile for his teammates. The Scottish talent has added a lot of goals to his game this season and is also one of the best playmakers in Premier League football.
To sum up, Liverpool will do well to prise him away from the Vitality Stadium. Fraser will undoubtedly bolster Klopp’s attacking options significantly at Anfield.
Should The Reds Move In For Him?
The Scotland international’s addition will not only improve Liverpool’s squad depth but will also increase competition for the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi. Thus, the Merseyside outfit should try their best to bring Fraser to the north-west of England ahead of the new season.
