Arsenal still have Amario Cozier-Duberry contract hope as transfer interest builds

Arsenal winger Amario Cozier-Duberry is yet to agree contract terms with any club and is currently considering his options, amid interest from sides around Europe.

The 18-year-old is into the final two months of his current Gunners deal and is being tracked by several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Arsenal want to keep the winger, who was nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for April, and have held talks.

Cozier-Duberry has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle, but it is understood he has not yet agreed terms with any club.

The Gunners will hope to keep the teenager, who is a boyhood Arsenal fan, but they face competition from clubs all over Europe.

Cozier-Duberry is on the radar of clubs from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland and Spain. He has been tipped for a big future after impressing for Arsenal at youth level.

The winger played a vital role in the club’s run to the FA Youth Cup final last season and Arsenal’s Under-18s manager Jack Wilshere has compared him to Bukayo Saka.

“Amario is very exciting and Mikel [Arteta] likes him,” Wilshere told The Athletic last year. “He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, plays in the same position as him, needs to get better with his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s definitely exciting.

“In some moments he’s unplayable. You give him the ball and he can make things happen. You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.”
