Simon Collings of the Evening Standard reports that Arsenal youngster Amario Cozier-Duberry is attracting interest from a number of top European clubs, including AFC Ajax, RSC Anderlecht, Borussia Dortmund, and Newcastle United.

Cozier-Duberry is reportedly in the last six months of his Arsenal deal, alerting various teams to the prospect of a free transfer in the summer.

Arsenal remain in talks with the winger over a new deal, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Collings adds that there was also interest from the Championship and League One in a loan deal for Cozier-Duberry, but he’s expected to stay with Arsenal until the summer.

Arsenal insider Team News and Ticks reports on Twitter that Brighton and Hove Albion are also among the clubs with an interest in signing Cozier-Duberry as his deal runs down.

Cozier-Duberry’s future has been up in the air for a while now, with Collings first reporting that Arsenal were set to open talks all the way back in August.

Reports have suggested that Cozier-Duberry is happy at Arsenal and highly rated by the club, and those negotiations are clearly now underway. But until the papers are signed, an exit remains a possibility.

Cozier-Duberry has seven goals and two assists for the Arsenal u21s and u19s in 13 matches in the Premier League 2, the UEFA Youth League, and the EFL Trophy this season.

That form has earned him a couple of first-team call-ups, in the Champions League against Sevilla and in the League Cup against Brentford, but he’s yet to make his senior debut.
