Celtic
The winger is still without a club after his departure from Bournemouth last season.

Celtic spent the summer hooking up with Ryan Fraser and the fact that he is delaying signing for a new club should entice Neil Lennon in a last-ditch attempt to sign him.
The Daily Star claims Newcastle is likely to be hired by the winger this summer, following his release from Bournemouth Airfield.
It is now alleged in the Telegraph today that Fraser is stalling to see if any other clubs will emerge as interested parties, with Celtic and Arsenal being named.

Fraser endured a very tough time during the 2019/20 season, scoring only once and scoring four assists from 32 matches under Eddie Howe.
It is fair to suggest that his head may have been turned, due to his atrocity in 2018/19 which led to teams like Liverpool and Arsenal being interested in the Scottish international player (The Mirror).
During that campaign, he scored eight times and claimed Bournemouth an astonishing 15 assists, which showed that in his day he was a very good winger.
Those days were few and far between last season, but as a result, that could make Celtic the perfect move for Freezer this summer.
Neil Lennon isn’t blessed with much talent on the wings and Fraser would be a useful addition to the Lennon squad.
Ambition
The international 11-game player is fast, direct and simply loves to play with players. Whatever his level last season, his 120 Premier League appearances could make him a coup for Celtic.
It appears that one of the reasons Fraser was so keen to move to Newcastle was his desire to get close to his family, who currently live in Aberdeen.

Celtic might move closer to it with a move to the Scottish Premier League, while they would likely have Europa League football on display as well.
After he gets a taste of the Premier League, he may want to stay in England and play better quality football – and thus, possibly make more money.
However, the stalling technique is not right and it would be wise for Celtic to pounce on Fraser.
Hoops can give him lots of trophies, lots of playing time and a chance for him to get back to his best after his disappointing season the last time.
