Bournemouth blew everyone away with their spectacular start to last season, and 25-year-old Ryan Fraser played a huge role in making that happen.

The Scottish international was deployed as the creative force of Eddie Howe's vibrant and energetic side, and it was a role Fraser thrived in, providing the creativity for forwards like Callum Wilson and Josh King to thrive off.

In total, he scored seven goals and had 14 assists from 38 Premier League games last term, and was second to only Eden Hazard on the assists charts last season, while assisting more times than renowned players across Europe including Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and even the great Lionel Messi.

His form last season saw him linked with a move to Arsenal, but with nothing coming out of those speculations, Eddie Howe would be expecting more of the same from his playmaker this season.
