HIGH HOPES FOR WEE MAN FRASER

- BY ALEX CROOK

ASMIR BEGOVIC says Ryan Fraser can become Bournemout­h’s answer to Eden Hazard.

Fraser, 24, who is 5ft 4in and a fan of the Chelsea star, has three goals and two assists from the first five league games.

Cherries keeper Begovic, who played with Hazard at Stamford Bridge, said: “Hazard is not a bad person to model yourself on and aspire to be.

“They are both really technicall­y gifted players. Everything is coming together for wee man. He’s a great age and I think he can be a top, top player.

“Ryan has stayed fit, had a great pre-season and has taken that onto the field now in the main games in the Premier League.

“He has got great quality, works really hard in training every single day and it is no fluke he is performing the way he is. He’s a great player.”
