Leeds United are in desperate need of reinforcements after a number of key departures this summer transfer window.

Georgino Rutter has left for Brighton and joins Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray as the headline exits this summer.

Leeds have now raised £138m in player sales so there are certainly funds to spend to find adequate replacements.

In fact, there’s a player available on the loan market who’d be absolutely perfect for Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds should try to sign Amario Cozier-Duberry

Leeds United are in the market for a Summerville replacement and should look no further than Brighton’s teenage winger Amario Cozier-Duberry.

The 19-year-old turned down a contract renewal at Arsenal earlier this summer and opted to join the South Coasters to continue his development.

Cozier-Duberry impressed in pre-season and netted a sublime brace against J1 League outfit Kashima Antlers.

Brighton have now made the ‘magical’ (per GOAL) wide player available for loan and he’s expected to join a Championship side, according to Andy Naylor.

Leeds should put themselves front and centre of the queue.

Amario Cozier-Duberry likened to Bukayo Saka

If Leeds were to sign Cozier-Duberry, he’d bring a totally new profile to Farke’s attack because, at the moment, they don’t have a left-footed wide player.

The former Arsenal man would instantly become one of the most promising players in the Championship with genuine scope to make a real difference in The Whites’ title bid.

In fact, his former academy coach Jack Wilshere said he’s very similar to Bukayo Saka, which is high praise indeed.

“Amario is very exciting and Mikel likes him,” Wilshere told the Athletic in 2023.

“He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, plays in the same position as him, needs to get better with his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s definitely exciting. In some moments he’s unplayable.

“You give him the ball and he can make things happen. You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.”
