Fraser won’t play for club again, says Cherries boss

BOURNEMOUTH boss Eddie Howe has confirmed wantaway winger Ryan Fraser has played his last game for the relegationthreatened club. Scotland star Fraser, whose contract expires later this month, declined to sign a short-term extension to remain at the Cherries until the end of the prolonged Premier League season. The ex-Aberdeen man, 26, — attracting interest from Everton and Leicester — will not be involved in today’s home game against Crystal Palace or next week’s trip to Wolves as the 18th-placed club scrap for survival. Howe said: ‘He’s now played his last game for the football club. He won’t be involved with us for the last nine games. ‘I only want players who are fully focused on the relegation battle that we have ahead and I’m looking forward to doing that with my squad.’
