Fraser is ignoring his £30m price tag to focus on Cherries

RYAN FRASER has admitted he is flattered to be linked with a big-money move to Liverpool or Arsenal. But the Scotland winger laughed off his £30million price tag and insisted he won’t throw a strop if he is still a Bournemouth player next season. The 25-year-old was a sensation in the Premier League last season, contributing 14 assists for Eddie Howe’s Cherries. Only Eden Hazard, who joined Real Madrid for a fee that could reach £130m, created more Premier League goals than the Scot. Fraser also scored seven goals for Bournemouth to bring him to the attention of the league’s big-six clubs. But he is staying grounded despite the speculation. ‘Is being linked with big clubs flattering? It’s nice,’ admitted Fraser. ‘But I honestly don’t think anyone will pay that (£30million). ‘I’ve got a year left with Bournemouth and, if I’m there, I’ll give my all. ‘If I’m somewhere else, I’ll give my all. ‘I’ve not had contract talks with the club since about seven months ago. If (a move happens) it happens. If it doesn’t, I’m not one to throw my rattle out of the pram. I’ll just keep doing my best. ‘I’m just one of those players who enjoys playing football, wherever I am. ‘I never want to try and think: “Where am I going to be playing?”. If you start thinking like that, you will probably start playing badly and not focus on the here and now on the pitch. ‘So, not once since the season stopped at Bournemouth have I thought: “Where am I going to be next season?”.’ Aberdeen are in line for a windfall if Fraser (above) does move on, having shrewdly inserted a 20-percent sell-on fee into his contract when he left for Bournemouth six years ago. And there was another boost for the Dons as Fraser admitted he may return to pull on a red jersey again in his native north east. ‘I don’t think I’ll be going back there too soon,’ he said. ‘But I might go back there in the future.’
