Not many football fans would have expected Fraser to end the season with 14 assists, and just one behind leading provider Eden Hazard.He excelled playing on the left wing and also chipped in with seven league goals. His stats read even better given Bournemouth finished the season with just three wins from 14 games. With just one year left on Frasers contract, the Cherries will be desperate to extend his stay.
