According to British media reports, Liverpool are keen on signing Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser. The Scottish player had one of his best seasons last year. He had 14 assists to his credit, only second to former Chelsea talisman, Eden Hazard.

Bournemouth look to cash in on Ryan Fraser
The Premier League leaders are said to be in advanced talks with Bournemouth over a possible move for Fraser in the upcoming January transfer window and are believed to be close to reaching an agreement. The player will be out of contract next summer, and his club would be looking to cash in on the player, rather than allowing him to leave on a free transfer.
Liverpool are currently eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table after defeating Manchester City in their recent Premier League clash. The Reds were quiet throughout the previous summer transfer window as their manager Jurgen Klopp decided against having any significant change to his current squad.
Liverpool youngster Harry Wilson, 22, is currently on loan at Bournemouth. The loanee has been impressive so far this season with four Premier League goals in 11 appearances. Bournemouth would be willing on swapping Fraser to keep Harry Wilson, who has been one of the club's standout performers this season, and will propose the swap offer to Liverpool.
The 25-year-old Scot was heavily linked with Arsenal in the previous summer. However, he has not been able to replicate his form of last season, as he has scored just once and assisted on two occasions in his 11 Premier League matches so far. Considering the recent glitch in his performance, Bournemouth would not hesitate to have further talks with Liverpool for a possible transfer to Anfield.
