Transfer: Southampton Sealed and Confirmed deal for £3.9m old striker

With Ryan Fraser, there seems to be hope for Newcastle United once again.

According to recent reports, a deal has been reached for the 30-year-old to

become a permanent fixture at Southampton.

The story, which originates from the dependable Athletic,

states that the parties have achieved a general deal and are only

completing the last few specifics.

Ryan Fraser has been anything from a cheap, “free” signing for

Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce, who made a terrible signing.

Ryan Fraser watched as Eddie Howe’s team was relegated after shamelessly

running out his contract at Bournemouth and refusing to

play at the end of the Covid-affected 2019–20 season.

Fraser subsequently moved to Newcastle United for astronomical

earnings, with no transfer fee to pay.

Ryan Fraser was given an absurd five-year deal, and after four years, Newcastle

United has paid out enormous salaries, even heavily subsidizing this past season at Southampton

Ryan Fraser has taken enormous sums of money, but in exchange,

he has only started 30 Premier League games and scored two goals.

Hopefully, this transaction closes and Fraser,

who still has a year left on his contract, is permanently released off United’s payroll.

Because of their promotion, Southampton has the resources to

meet the player’s wage requests.

Ryan Fraser was more of a regular off the bench during this promotion campaign, making 27 substitute appearances, even though he only started 15 games as the Saints advanced.

Another highly expensive “free” signing, Jeff Hendrick, leaves at the end of this month. He signed during the same transfer window as Ryan Fraser, but he “only” received a four-year NUFC deal from Bruce and Ashley, one year less than Fraser.
