Simon Collings reports for the Evening Standard that Arsenal are planning new contract talks with Amario Cozier-Duberry, who is now reportedly in the final year of his contract with the club.

Sparta Rotterdam, PSV Eindhoven, and Vitesse Arnhem are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Cozier-Duberry’s situation from the Netherlands, with Belgian side Gent also interested.

Cozier-Duberry is happy at Arsenal and highly rated by the club, joining them on the tour of the USA over the summer.

As for the winger’s immediate future, that reportedly remains undecided.

Cozier-Duberry could go out on a season-long loan, but that would likely require him to extend his contract with Arsenal first.

The Gunners signed Cozier-Duberry up to a professional contract as soon as he was eligible, back in the summer of 2022.

But any first pro deal has its length capped by FIFA regulations, hence why his contract is already an issue again.

Now that the teenager is 18, he could sign a new longer-term deal lasting five years or more, if that’s what he and Arsenal want.

With talks set to begin soon, we should find out the two parties’ intentions before long.
