Ryan Fraser joined Newcastle United on a five-year deal in the summer of 2020 but hasn’t had the desired impact at St James’ Park. The 27-year-old has been short of goals and assists in the North-East and isn’t commanding a starting place this season.
Fraser came off the bench in Sunday’s 4-0 defeat to Leicester City but had little impact at the King Power Stadium and was given a player rating of 5/10 by Chronicle Live as a result. Fans on social media criticised the out-of-form wide-man too and questioned what he brings to the side.
The Scotland international has made 34 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle, scoring one goal with four assists. He endured an injury-hit debut campaign, suffering hamstring and groin problems, which limited his playing time to just 926/3420 minutes of Premier League football.
This season, Fraser has made 12 appearances across the board but has only started five times, grabbing one assist. He’s amassed 431/1080 minutes of football in all competitions and is yet to get on the scoresheet. Fans aren’t happy with Fraser’s output in a Magpies shirt and Eddie Howe won’t be either.
