Ryan Fraser emerges as Arsenal transfer target after Bournemouth star impresses Unai Emery

Scotland international Ryan Fraser has emerged as an Arsenal transfer target - and it could land Aberdeen a huge windfall.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has received glowing reports on the Bournemouth star as he scours the market for a wide player this summer.

The 25-year-old former Aberdeen youth has also been watched by Tottenham, reports The Mirror.

Record Sport Online revealed in January the Dons inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause when Fraser left Pittodrie in 2013 for only £400,000.

It's unclear how much the Gunners would be willing to spend on the Scot, but Everton were linked with a £15million swoop in January that would have netted Aberdeen a tidy £3m.

Fraser has caught the eye with his performances for the Cherries and his reputation continues grow in the English Premier League.

Arsenal will have only limited funds this summer which may be boosted if they finish in the Champions League places.

But Arsenal want a wide forward and also a midfielder to replace Aaron Ramsey who is leaving the club this summer to join Juventus on a free transfer.

Emery could also look at a left back but might have to sell before he can buy to make more extensive changes to his squad this summer.

Arsenal signed Denis Suarez on loan from Barcelona with an option for a permanent £18m deal but the Spain international has struggled to settle in the Premier League.

Emery has also hinted they could look to keep Danny Welbeck who is out of contract this summer and currently recovering from a long term ankle injury.
