Newcastle United 'set' to move for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur target

Fraser, 26, is set to depart the Vitality Stadium when his contract expires at the end of the season following seven years on the south coast.

Arsenal and Tottenham want to sign the Scotland international but they could soon face competition from the Magpies, as claimed by Football Insider.

Subject to the £300million takeover of Amanda Staveley being approved by the Premier League, the report states United’s owners-in-waiting are already in contact with leading agents ahead of the summer transfer window.

One player that has come to the attention is Fraser and a new and extremely wealthy Newcastle are being tipped to entice him to St James’s Park.

They say the new ownership – which includes Saudi Arabia’s PIF and the Reuben brothers – are planning major investment in players and infrastructure in order to ‘major moves in the market’.
