Free-agent Ryan Fraser has been offered a contract worth a reported £50,000 per week by Crystal Palace.
The winger is a free agent after leaving Bournemouth when his contract expired on June 30.
Fraser’s Bournemouth deal, signed back in February 2017 when he was just starting to make an impression at the top level, was initially worth £27,000-a-week. The Eagles have already snapped up 19-year-old right-back Nathan Ferguson on a free from West Brom.
Yesterday Fraser topped a Claret and Hugh poll of the free-agent most supporters would like David Moyes to sign.
The Eagles are reported to have made the first move for West Ham transfer target Eberechi Eze which QPR quickly rejected.
Initially, it was reported to have been a £12m offer plus add-ons but has since been amended to suggest it was an £8m bid with £4m of add-ons.
QPR value Eze around £20m and will be in no hurry to seal a deal if others like West Ham are interested.
Palace is also claimed to lead the race sign Brentwood striker Ollie Watkins but have yet to make a formal move for the striker.
Fraser is a nice to have player, I know it sounds crazy but £50k a week for a proven free agent PL player seems a low salary, we are paying Ryan Fredericks more I think and Jack Wilshere a lot more plus he allegedly got a £5m signing on fee.
He will be just as much as both Fredericks and Wilshere were free signings too – all comes back in inflated wages and longer deals…
Brentwood to palace is a big jump !
I am sorry but don’t think he is worth it. His stats this season are no different to Anderson (who we are willing to sell). The interest all stems from the fact that he had a better season last year(again the same as Anderson – whose figures were better.). I don’t see him as an upgrade to what we have. He may not have a transfer fee but will want better than £50k per week and a longish deal and a signing on fee. He won’t be cheap. Please don’t go there Moyes.
