Fraser remains so far removed from the picture at Newcastle United that he hasn't been assigned a squad number. Following a bitter fall-out with Eddie Howe last year, he was banished from the first team, but a season-long loan stint with Southampton has helped revive his career. The newly-promoted Saints are interested in signing him on a permanent deal, although Russell Martin admitted last week that an agreement is still a long way off.

Ryan Fraser, 30, starred on loan at Southampton last season and helped them to Premier League promotion. Fraser has his heart set on a permanent move to Southampton, but a deal has yet to be struck with Newcastle United. Fraser had a fall-out with Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and has no future at the club. Southampton boss Russell Martin wants to re-sign Fraser, but there is no agreement in sight.

Ryan Fraser has expressed his desire to secure a permanent move to Southampton this summer. He is currently a Newcastle United player and still has a year to run on his contract at St James' Park. However, he hasn't played for Newcastle since October 2022. He joined Southampton on loan where he scored eight goals to help the Saints to promotion back to the Premier League. He played a key role in their play-off final success against Leeds.
