Arsenal are being linked again with a move for Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser.
The 26 year old Scot was associated with a move to the Emirates last summer, but, in the end, nothing came of the speculation, and he ended up staying with the South Coast side.
However, he is coming to the end of his contract at the end of this season and, having turned down a new deal with the side that he joined from Aberdeen in 2013, he will be available on a free transfer.
And, with the Gunners likely to have only limited transfer funds to spend this summer, especially given the fact that, like all league clubs, they are taking a large financial hit because of the Covid019 epidemic, Fraser is a cheap option for Mikel Arteta who is trying to reshape his squad.
Bournemouth are looking to clear out their own squad this summer, as they look to rebuild, although it is not yet clear which division they will be playing in next season. They were in the drop zone when the season was halted by the outbreak.
