With his contract expiring at the end of the season, the 18-year-old winger has attracted interest from Premier League rivals Newcastle United, alongside a host of European clubs.

Amario Cozier-Duberry has impressed with seven goals and two assists for Arsenal’s youth teams this season, even earning call-ups to the first-team squad for Champions League and League Cup matches. However, a new contract remains unsigned, prompting clubs to circle like sharks.

While Arsenal are reportedly “in negotiations” to keep their academy product, the likes of Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Anderlecht, and Wolves are all lurking. Even Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly joined the chase.

This isn’t the first time Cozier-Duberry‘s future has been in the spotlight. Back in August, reports emerged of potential contract talks, indicating Arsenal‘s belief in his talent. The player himself is said to be happy at the club, but until that signature’s secured, anything is possible.

Should Arsenal fail to tie him down, they could lose the exciting youngster for free. Newcastle, known for their recent spending spree, might be a tempting option for Cozier-Duberry, offering Premier League football and an ambitious project.

With negotiations ongoing and other clubs lining up, Cozier-Duberry‘s future promises to be an exciting saga for Arsenal fans to follow. Will he commit to the Gunners, or will Newcastle or another suitor tempt him away? Only time will tell.
