Newcastle Star Ryan Fraser Demands Permanent Move After Leading Southampton to Premier League Glory

Newcastle United winger Ryan Fraser has made it clear he wants to join Southampton on a permanent basis after playing a pivotal role in their triumphant return to the Premier League. Fraser was instrumental in Southampton’s success, featuring prominently in their Championship play-off final victory against Leeds United at Wembley, which secured their promotion.

The Scotland international, who joined Southampton on a season-long loan, has become a mainstay in the team under manager Russell Martin. Over the course of the season, Fraser made 44 appearances across all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. His consistent performances have won him the admiration of the Southampton faithful and solidified his desire to continue his journey with the club.

Sources in the south indicate that Southampton are keen to make Fraser’s loan move permanent, given his contributions to their successful campaign. Fraser, who has one year remaining on his contract with Newcastle United, has found himself out of favor under Magpies’ head coach Eddie Howe, further fueling his interest in a permanent switch.

Since joining Newcastle from AFC Bournemouth four years ago on a free transfer, Fraser has made 59 appearances for the club. However, his opportunities have dwindled recently, leading to his loan move to Southampton where he has rediscovered his form and confidence.

In a heartfelt farewell message posted on his Instagram account, Fraser expressed his deep gratitude to the Southampton fans and the entire club. He wrote: “Saints fans, what can I say. From the first minute I arrived at this amazing club, to this moment achieving our goal together of getting promoted to the Premier League. Celebrating with you all in the most incredible way at Wembley is something I could have only dreamed about.

“I can’t thank you all enough for the support and making this year one of the best of my life! From the manager, who has helped the whole club come together in so many ways on and off the pitch, creating a family feeling for all of us. Every staff member that help push the club forward every day. To my teammates, in which I have gained so many good friends (except Arma).

“Who knows what this summer will bring; hopefully, we can spend next season together making more history, but if not, then I wish nothing but the best for this club going forward.”

Fraser’s public declaration of his desire to stay at St. Mary’s has set the stage for an exciting summer as Southampton look to finalize the deal. For Newcastle, this move could free up space and funds as they continue to reshape their squad under Eddie Howe.

As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Fraser and Southampton to see if they can reach an agreement that benefits both parties and allows Fraser to continue his Premier League journey with the Saints.
