Ex-Arsenal star Wilshere urges Emery to sign Bournemouth winger Fraser

West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere has urged Arsenal boss Unai Emery to sign Ryan Fraser this summer.

The Gunners are currently being scared off the Scotland international winger by Bournemouth's £30 m asking price.

Speaking to football.london, former Arsenal midfielder Wilshere said: "I think Ryan Fraser would be a great signing. I know him well.

"He's probably the hardest working player I've ever worked with. He's got an exceptional attitude. On the pitch he runs around all day – he's the first one on the pitch in the morning and the last one off it.

"His physical attributes have really come on. He's really improved that side of his game. He's really come on.

"Technically he's really come on. You can see that by all the chances he created last year.

"You can see that by the large number of assists he got last season. That's credit to him and credit to Eddie [Howe]. Eddie put a lot of trust in him and it's been rewarded.

"He's nurtured him and he's turned him into a top player – and if he goes to Arsenal I wish him all the luck in the world as he's a great guy and a great player."
