Arsenal Target AFCON Star And Bournemouth Playmaker

In a bid to boost their squad ahead of the new season, Arsenal are set to issue mouth-watering offers for the duo of Crystal Palace’s Wilfred Zaha and Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser.

Having lost Aaron Ramsey to Juventus in the Serie A and Danny Welbeck on a free transfer, the London club are hoping to fill up the void left behind by both players.

Unai Emery has already made a bid for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, who’s caught the eye of a number of clubs after another impressive season at Selhurst Park.

However, the offer of £40million is less than half of the Eagles’ valuation, meaning any potential transfer looks almost impossible.

Meanwhile, the Gunners have Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser in their sight, who registered seven goals and 14 assists in the Premier League last term.

The Scotland international has just one-year left on his deal at the Vitality Stadium and has been linked with a move away from the club.

With the 25-year-old looking unlikely to pen a new contract it’s claimed that the Cherries will let him move on if they receive a bid of around £20million.

And with the Gunners’ reported transfer budget thought to be around £45million, a deal could suit all parties involved.
