Rangers are in advanced talks to sign Brighton & Hove Albion winger Amario Cozier-Duberry, with the 21-year-old emerging as a key target for manager Derek McInnes this summer. Discussions between the two clubs are ongoing, and sources indicate the England youth international is receptive to a move to Glasgow.
Rangers are hoping to finalize the transfer within the next 48 hours as they seek to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new Scottish Premiership campaign. Cozier-Duberry, a product of the Arsenal academy, has impressed during loan spells away from the Amex Stadium, and the Rangers hierarchy believe he possesses the pace, creativity, and directness needed on the flanks.
McInnes has identified adding another winger as a priority, and Cozier-Duberry is high on his list. The manager is aiming to strengthen the squad in multiple positions after a demanding previous season, and is keen to have new options available quickly. Alongside the pursuit of the Brighton forward, Rangers are also actively seeking a central defender.
Brighton are reportedly reluctant to part with a player they view as having long-term potential, but the prospect of regular first-team football at Ibrox appears to be a significant draw for Cozier-Duberry. Should the transfer be completed swiftly, the winger could be available for selection in the coming week, potentially featuring in the friendly against West Ham United.
Cozier-Duberry’s arrival would be a statement of intent from Rangers, bringing a highly-rated young talent to Scottish football. While the winger is the primary focus, the club are also expected to pursue additional attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes, addressing perceived weaknesses within the squad.
