Newcastle is expressing interest in securing the signing of Amario Cozier-Duberry from Arsenal on a free transfer. The club is closely monitoring the contract negotiations between Arsenal and the 18-year-old wonderkid, according to Fabrizio Romano.
As it stands, Arsenal faces the risk of losing Cozier-Duberry this summer as he approaches the final six months of his contract, with no agreement reached between the club and the young England U19 international. In response, Newcastle, along with Wolves, Ajax, Anderlecht, and Borussia Dortmund, are closely observing the situation.
Romano’s update on social media indicates ongoing negotiations between Arsenal and Cozier-Duberry for a potential new deal. However, in the event of unsuccessful talks, several clubs are interested in securing his services on a free transfer in June.
Cozier-Duberry, hailing from London, has showcased his talent this season with the Arsenal U21 team, tallying seven goals and two assists in 13 appearances. Notably, he was included on the bench by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta during their UEFA Champions League victory over Sevilla in November.
Comparisons have been drawn between Cozier-Duberry and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka by the club’s coaches, highlighting his potential to follow a similar trajectory. Thus, Arsenal will aim to secure his long-term future, but should negotiations falter, Newcastle stands ready to capitalize on the opportunity.
