Arsenal are reportedly working on a new contract for Amario Cozier-Duberry, with Ben Jacobs claiming the youngster ‘loves the club’.

The Hale End Academy product has been attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs ahead of the summer.

Amario Cozier-Duberry’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and there have been suggestions the youngster could leave on a free transfer.

But Cozier-Duberry has been spotted in first-team training on several occasions this season and is highly-rated at Arsenal. 

Indeed, Jack Wilshere has already lauded the youngster as an ‘unplayable’ winger and it would appear that Arsenal are attempting to tie him down on a new contract.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jacobs claimed that while Cozier-Duberry loves Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, he will be seeking guarantees over his pathway to the first team.

“Arsenal are still working on a renewal for Cozier-Duberry,” the journalist said. “Then it will be up to the player because, naturally, he will want to understand not only the finances on offer at Arsenal but also the potential that he will have.

“He loves the club and Arteta. But he’s been at Arsenal U21’s for three seasons, and at 18 years of age, 19 in May, he’ll want to understand his pathways.

“That will be the consideration, not finances, but pathways.”

Cozier-Duberry has impressed for Arsenal’s Under-21s side this term having netted seven goals in 14 appearances.

The 18-year-old has also registered three assists and has earned comparisons to another star to come through the ranks at Arsenal in Bukayo Saka.

Nevertheless, there remains the possibility that Cozier-Duberry leaves for free this summer.

The youngster will be desperate to start playing regularly and is yet to make his debut for the Gunners.

It would be a shame to see Cozier-Duberry move on and it would appear that Arsenal are doing their best to prevent his exit.
