Brighton and Hove Albion are on top of the Premier League after the first match. They scored 3 goals against Everton and kept a clean sheet. Brighton have also been very busy in the transfer market. They have signed some good and young players. This makes them ready for the future. They signed one young winger from Arsenal. His name is Amario Cozier Duberry. However, it seems like he has no place in first team for now.
Who is Cozier Duberry
Cozier Duberry is 19 years old winger. He mainly plays as a right winger. However, he can also adapt and play as a left winger. He joined Arsenal in 2019 and developed as a quality winger. Cozier Duberry was born in London. He grew up in Tottenham and Chettle Court Rangers was his first club. He won a youth tournament with Chettle earning him a trial from Arsenal. Later, he became the Arsenal academy graduate.
Amario Cozier Duberry played in various age groups for Arsenal. He was considered as a future of the club. However, he took a decision to leave the club to earn more gametime. Cozier Duberry was part of Arsenal bench on eight different occasions. His contract expired earlier this summer and was even offered contract extension by Gunners. However, the winger decided to reject the offer and join Brighton and Hove Albion. Cozier Duberry has a very good left foot and likes to cut inside. He liked Arjen Robben a lot when he grew up. He is often viewed as Bukayo Saka and Moussa Diaby. His former coach Jack Wilshere described him as unplayable and the player who can make things happen.
Amario Cozier Duberry to be sent on a loan
According to The Athletic, Cozier Duberry is set to be sent on a loan. He is said to join a Championship side. Many of the Championship clubs are interested to sign him. Brighton think that this is a good idea to use Duberry as he will get more gametime. They want the winger to improve his game before being a regular first team player. This will give Duberry a chance to improve his skills and gain a lot of experience. In addition, he can convince and force Brighton to include him in their first team by impressing him this season.
Brighton feel lucky to sign Cozier Duberry for free. They gave him chance to shine in the pre-season games too. The winger scored 2 goals in his first match for Brighton. However he was unable to receive proper minutes in the next three matches. Amario only played 30 minutes in the last three pre-season games. Later he was left out of the first team squad to face Everton. If Amario Cozier Duberry stays at Brighton, he will spend the whole season on the bench. He will be used as a occasional substitute.
Reason behind Brighton’s plan
Brighton have signed a lot of talented wingers this summer. Firstly, they have signed Yankuba Minteh. He impresses the club in the pre-season games which earned him a spot in starting lineup against Everton. In addition, he is only 20 years old. Later, he was substituted after providing one assist. He was replaced by Simon Adingra who is also very young. Adingra is 22 years old. Lastly, Brighton have also signed 20 year old Brajan Gruda. Solly March is also another winger available for Brighton. However he has been injured since a long time and is 30 years old. However, Cozier Duberry will still be the fourth choice winger for Brighton. It is better for him to spend a year on loan and improve his overall game. Hopefully he will come back next year as a mature winger and claim his position as a regular strater.
