Reported Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal target Ryan Fraser has suggested to The Scotsman that no club will pay the £30 million that Bournemouth want for him.

According to The Daily Star, North London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal are interested in signing Fraser from Premier League rivals Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.

The Scottish Sun has credited Liverpool with interest in the 25-year-old winger, with The Sun (print edition, page 63, May 19) claiming that the Cherries want as much as £30m for him (click here to read more).

Fraser, though, has suggested that no club will pay £30m for him in the summer transfer window.

Fraser told The Scotsman: “I honestly don’t think anyone will be paying that [£30m]. It was six or seven months ago that we last spoke about my future, but nothing since.

“Even in the end of season meeting I had with the manager [Eddie Howe], we didn’t speak about my future. He knows I’m not one to speak about it.

“If something happens, it will happen. If it doesn’t, then I’m not one to throw my rattle out of the pram. I’ll keep trying my best.”

Bournemouth stay

Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake has released a statement on the club’s official website that a long-term contract has been offered to Fraser, and has suggested that the winger will be at the Vitality Stadium next season.

According to WhoScored, Fraser made 35 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Bournemouth this past season, scoring seven goals and providing 14 assists in the process.
