England under-17 striker Mason Cotcher has been training with Arsenal since leaving Sunderland, according to Daily Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath.
Mason Cotcher Situation
Rangers, one of the biggest teams in the Scottish Premiership. Are also interested in the 17-year-old, and the English Championship club would receive far less money if he moved there.
Cotcher, who plays for Arsenal’s under-18 team. Scored a goal and provided an assist against Crystal Palace in the previous month.
The Englishman was not used as a substitute for Sunderland’s main team. During their FA Cup victory against Shrewsbury Town at the start of the season. Despite scoring ten goals for the under-18 squad previous season as they pushed Manchester City all the way.
It’s unclear whether Arsenal would offer Cotcher a contract.
Rangers Keen
Without a doubt, Rangers and company will be keeping an eye on the issue, and the adolescent star will be eager to win over the Gunners. Ivan Toney, an attacking player for Brentford. Has been frequently linked to Arsenal as they attempt to improve their offensive ranks in January.
Financial Fair Play worries, however, might make a move for the England international difficult, and it’s unclear if they’ll be able to sign a good forward on loan. Even if he is signed, Cotcher is not quite ready and is not likely to have an instant effect on the starting lineup.
However, given his prior success with the under-18s. He may end up being a useful addition to the Arsenal junior squads. It’s also said that Brighton & Hove Albion is monitoring the teenager. Who is still under contract at Sunderland on a scholarship.
They offered him a new deal in the summer but he was not keen and is eligible to them for another club at any time.
