BREAKING NEWS: The £70,000 weekly A star from Newcastle United who will start the summer clearance.
Ryan Fraser, a winger for Newcastle United on loan from Southampton, had a knee injury during his stay, but the ailment shouldn’t prevent him from leaving in the summer.
In the upcoming months, the Magpies are still aiming to take advantage of Fraser’s strong performance on the South Coast and cut him off of their payroll. The Scotland international was transferred to the Saints last summer after falling out of favor with Howe, but he has thrived under Russell Martin and is hoping to stay at St Mary’s permanently.
Fraser is one of Tyneside’s highest earners with a weekly salary of over £70,000 due to his contract with Newcastle. Howe, the manager of Newcastle, has stated that he has no future at St. James’ Park.
Fraser will complete his recovery with the Saints, since Newcastle does not want him to return to the first team training facility like they do with previous loanees this season. The former Bournemouth player was sent to the reserves by Howe last season, where he trained at Little Benton among the team’s Academy youth.
Howe’s statement last season that he was only interested in players who were “committed” to the team caused Fraser and the head coach to fall out. Howe has since sent him best wishes and stated in the summer, “They are all fantastic boys.” I wish them all the best and have no problems with any of them, but let’s wait and see.”
When Fraser was hurt during the match at home against Millwall, his current manager, Martin, stated: “It’s a big blow for him, but we’ll probably have him back the other side of the international break.”
The 30-year-old should have little trouble contributing to the promotion run-in and increasing his total of five goals and two assists. After that, Newcastle should have no trouble joining the Saints permanently.
Earlier in the season, Fraser stated, “Hopefully, I can stay until the end.” My main objective is to remain at the club, but I also have smaller targets to try to reach that. My main goal is to assist the team in being promoted, though staying would be wonderful as well.
