Amario Oswald Gerardo Cozier-Duberry (born 29 May 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for Premier League club Arsenal.[2][3][4]

Early life[edit]

Cozier-Duberry was born in London, England. He went on trial with numerous London clubs, with none of them accepting him. He went on to join Chettle Court Rangers when he was 8, playing through the under-11s to under-15s. After Cozier-Duberry won a youth tournament with Chettle Court Rangers in Enfield, Arsenal offered him a 10-week trial which he accepted. After 10 weeks with the academy, he permanently joined Hale End at age 14 in October 2019.[2][4]

Club career[edit]

Arsenal[edit]

Cozier-Duberry came off the bench in his EFL Trophy debut, donning the number 91, in a 2–1 loss to Swindon Town.[5][6] Cozier-Duberry signed his professional contract with the first team in early June 2022, taking the number 85.[7] He scored his first EFL Trophy goal in a 3–1 victory at the Sixfields Stadium, against Northampton in early October 2022.[8][9]

Cozier-Duberry was on the bench against Zurich, West Ham, Everton, Brentford, and Manchester City, with the games being on 9 September, 26 December, 4, 11 and 15 of February, with his most recent two being consecutive games.[10][11][12][13] His home debut for the senior team occurred in a friendly against Juventus, when at the 63rd minute, he was subbed on to replace Granit Xhaka.[14][15] Arsenal under-18 coach Jack Wilshere describes him to be, "in some moments, he's (Cozier-Duberry) unplayable. You give him the ball, and he can make things happen."[16]

Cozier-Duberry played in all 6 of Arsenal's FA Youth Cup games, starting in each one. He scored 5 goals and set up 3 assists on a fantastic run to the final, capped off with Cozier-Duberry's shot being parried by Mason Terry into the path of Omari Benjamin to open the scoring for Arsenal in the 2023 FA Youth cup final, in a thriller which ended in a 5–1 loss to West Ham, capping off a great campaign with the under-18s with an unpleasant loss.[17] He managed a fine tally of 7 goals and 5 assists for Arsenal in the Premier League 2, topping both stats, with his strikes against both Newcastle United and Brighton nominated for Arsenal's goal of the month, in January and April respectively.[18][19][20]

Cozier-Duberry was named in a preseason squad touring across the United States with matches with the MLS All-Stars, Manchester United, and Barcelona.[21] He was subbed in versus the latter at the 85th minute mark, wearing number 45.[22]

International career[edit]

Born in England, Cozier-Duberry is of Montserratian descent.[23] He made one appearance for the England under-16s against Wales U16s scoring once, in a 3–2 loss.[24] Cozier-Duberry netted twice in 4 appearances for the England U17s, as they were qualifying for the U17 euros. Cozier-Duberry has netted once in 3 Costa Calida Supercup appearances for the England U18s.[4][25][26] He was called up to play for the under-19s, where he played in three U19 Euros qualifiers, against Iceland, Hungary, and Turkey, netting once against the latter.[27][28][29] He was called up by the England U19s once more in September in two friendlies versus Germany U19 and Switzerland U19, with Cozier-Duberry scoring against the latter.[30][31]

Style of play[edit]

Growing up, Cozier-Duberry adored Arjen Robben, mainly because of his wand of a left foot and his ability to cut inside, something Cozier-Duberry has taken after. He is touted to play like Bukayo Saka, a Hale End graduate, and Moussa Diaby, a prolific winger for Aston Villa.[32][33]
