#3 Ryan Fraser

The perfect winger for Emery's system
The perfect winger for Emery's system

Ryan Fraser has almost single-handedly dragged Bournemouth to a strong mid-table finish. His partner in crime Callum Wilson has dovetailed with the Scotsman perfectly, knowing where to be so that Fraser could find him.

His underlying statistics show that this is no flash in the pan, one season wonder. Over the course of the season, he has been consistently creating chances for his teammates from out wide. Six goals and 10 assists this sees him as one of the contenders for the Playmaker of the season award, just two assist shy of the phenomenal Eden Hazard.

This season he has created the most number of clear goalscoring chances with 22, followed by Hazard considerably behind with 15. This shows that in a side with more clinical strikers, he could have had almost double the assists he has. He has averaged over 2 key passes and taking 1.5 shots per match. This is along with winning 2 fouls and losing the ball under once a game. It really shows a really well rounded hard-working winger.

This is a position Arsenal has been struggling to fill since a while now. As good as Alex Iwobi is, Arsenal can't really look to compete for the Premier League with him as the senior winger in the side. A frontline with Fraser, Aubameyang and Lacazette would be something that would get Gunners excited.

He would be great going both ways, his numbers in the attack are better than any forward from teams other than the big six teams. He has been playing consistently well and deserves a move to a team can have a go for some serious silverware.
