Ryan Fraser to Tottenham for free... 'Wow, what a signing that would be', claims Darren Bent

Tom Doyle10 May 2020

Signing Ryan Fraser on a free transfer from Bournemouth would be a "very, very good start" to Jose Mourinho's transfer business at Tottenham, according to Darren Bent.

Fraser is available for free at the end of the season, and while a stay with the Cherries is not out of the question, interest from the likes of Arsenal - and potentially Spurs - is likely to see the Scottish winger move on.

Standard Sport understands that Mourinho's summer plans are set to be restricted to free transfers and swap deals as Spurs grapple with the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, along with Champions League qualification looking unlikely unless the season is declared null and void.

With free agents therefore set to be in high demand once the season finishes, former Spurs striker Bent believes Fraser represents good business, telling Football Insider: "It’s another body in the door but where does he fit in?

"You look at their front three and he could potentially fit in on the right.

"You’ve got Heung-min Son on the left, Harry Kane through the middle and maybe Fraser on the right, battling with Lucas Moura.

"It would be a great signing and if you can get him on a free as well, wow, what a signing that would be.

"If I’m Spurs I’m going all out to get that type of player but don’t make that your be-all and end-all.

"We saw Manchester United do that with Daniel James and yeah, he did very, very well but I’m sure United weren’t expecting him to do as well as he did.

"If Spurs can get him in on a free, that’s a very, very good start."
