Eddie Howe admits he is unsure whether Ryan Fraser will be at Bournemouth next season after the Scottish winger was linked with a summer move to Arsenal.

Fraser, whose contract ends in June 2020, told Sky Sports on Friday that he was flattered to be linked with a "massive club" after reports that Arsenal head coach Unai Emery was interested in securing his services.

"We have spoken to Ryan and his representatives about his contract. It's one where we will see what happens," Howe told reporters on Friday.

"There is no doubting Ryan's quality and how highly we think of him.

"He is an outstanding talent but it is a two-way prospect to sign a contract, so let's wait and see."

Fraser, 25, has been one of Bournemouth's key players this season with six goals and 10 assists in the Premier League.

"Ryan has contributed to the team this season but it's not the time to talk about speculation," Howe added.

"Who knows in the summer? It's that time of year when things change and us ourselves will be looking to sign players."
