Arsenal are having to reassess their options in attempting to sign a winger as potential deals for Yannick Carrasco and Ryan Fraser have stalled.

Unai Emery is keen to bring in a wide player this summer after the dismal failure of Denis Suarez’s loan move from Barcelona.

The Gunners opted for Suarez in January after failing to agree terms with Chinese club Dalian Yifang for Carrasco, who is keen on a return to Europe to cement his place in Belgium’s squad ahead of Euro 2020.

However, it is understood Dalian remain undecided whether they are prepared to sell Carrasco. The 25-year-old is thought to be interested in a move to north London but the two clubs are yet to agree a fee. He is believed to be rated at around £30million.

That figure is also unlikely to be enough to prise Fraser from Bournemouth, who issued a statement last week insisting the player was “an integral part of the squad”.

Fraser has been offered a contract extension to stay on the south coast but is yet to commit his future with Arsenal hoping he will force a move away from the club.

However, there has been no sign of Fraser making such a push and Bournemouth are thought to be willing to risk the player entering the final year of his contract without extending in order to keep him.

The Gunners had also been linked with a move for Lorient’s Alexis Claude-Maurice but he has since publicly stated his desire to move to Borussia Monchengladbach.

The moves for Carrasco and Fraser are not considered dead but Arsenal are likely to have to dip further into their £40m summer budget – excluding player sales – than they originally hoped in order to complete either deal.
