Transfers involvingn Newcastle Uited: The Magpies are said to be making an unexpected bid to sign one of Arsenal’s best players on a free transfer.
Amario Cozier-Duberry, a young player for Arsenal, has drawn interest from Newcastle United. The teenager’s contract expires at the conclusion of the current campaign, so if the Gunners and he can’t come to an agreement on a new one, he will be free to join in the summer.
Though there are many other teams vying for Cozier-Duberry, the Magpies have shown with their acquisition of Alfie Harrison from Manchester City that they are willing to recruit players from their competitors and provide them with a clear route to the first team upon moving to St James’ Park. Here, we look at the most recent information on Cozier-Duberry’s future at Arsenal, suitor interest in him, his early performances at St. James’ Park, and the comparisons he has received to one of Mikel Arteta’s current stars.
Cozier-Duberry is an 18-year-old winger who currently plays for Arsenal Under-21’s. In 13 games in all competitions for Arsenal’s youth sides this season, he has netted seven goals and registered two assists. He has also been included in senior matchday squads by Arteta this season – although he is yet to make a senior appearance for the Gunners. Fabrizio Romano update
The situation surrounding Cozier-Duberry at Arsenal has been updated by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano despite several suggestions that teams in Europe, Newcastle United, and a Premier League opponent are interested in signing him this summer. “Arsenal are still in negotiations to get new deal done for English 2005 born talent Amario Cozier-Duberry,” Romano stated on X. Discussions continue. In the event that the #AFC negotiations go through, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Anderlecht, Wolves, and Newcastle are expressing interest in signing free agents in June.
Outstanding show in St. James’ Park
Cozier-Duberry’s excellent performance against Newcastle United Under-18’s in the FA Youth Cup last season served as his first taste of what Tyneside can provide. On a night when he gave the youthful Magpies defense the runaround, the winger assisted on an early goal before scoring one of his own. That evening, Lewis Miley, who was playing and scoring for the hosts, was even surpassed by Cozier-Duberry’s effort.
Bukayo Saka analogies
Cozier-Duberry and Arsenal defeated Watford and Cambridge United, then defeated Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals to set up a London derby against West Ham in the championship game. Prior to that, they had defeated Newcastle United. Jack Wilshere, the manager of Arsenal Under-18, stated before the match that Cozier-Duberry reminded him of Bukayo Saka and that Arteta had developed a fondness for the winger. “Amario is very exciting and Mikel likes him,” Wilshere told the Athletic. The team would eventually lose the match 5-1 despite taking an early lead.
He plays the same position as him, reminds me of Bukayo Saka, and has to improve his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s absolutely exciting. There are times when he’s unplayable.
As long as you give him the ball, he can do wonders. You can assemble a squad and devise a strategy, but with such players, you have a chance.
