Fraser scored seven goals and supplied 14 assists in the Premier League last season

But according to The Independent, Arsenal boss Unai Emery wants to solely focus on their final in Baku against Chelsea on May 29 – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT – before sorting out any transfers as a win will be the difference between playing Champions League or Europa League football next season.Fraser was also linked with Manchester United but as the Red Devils are closing in on Swansea’s Daniel James, the pathway for Arsenal to get the Scotland international looks clear.The Cherries player recently played down talk of a move to London.“I’ve got a year left [on my contract]. There’s a very good chance I’ll be here next season,” he said. “If that’s that then I’m going to try my best as I always do and I’ll enjoy it.

Eddie Howe seems prettu resigned to losing Fraser

Howe said: “We have spoken to Ryan and his representatives about his contract. It is one where we will see what happens.“There is no doubting Ryan’s quality and how highly we think of him. He is an outstanding talent but it is a two-way prospect to sign a contract, so let’s wait and see. “Ryan has contributed to the team this season but it’s not the time to talk about speculation.“Who knows in the summer? It is that time of year when things change and us ourselves will be looking to sign players.”
