Arsenal Fans Spot Promising Young Talent in U21s
Arsenal fans were left impressed after watching the Under-21s match against Stoke U21s on Monday. Amario Cozier-Duberry, an 18-year-old star, scored a goal and provided an assist during the game, leading fans to draw comparisons between him and first-team player Bukayo Saka.
Similarities in Style and Performance
Fans were quick to notice the similarities between Cozier-Duberry and Saka, both of whom progressed through the Hale End academy. One fan took to social media to comment, “That no.7 must be Saka’s brother!” Another fan referred to Cozier-Duberry as a “Saka clone.” The young player’s performance was also compared to Saka’s goal against Bayern Munich.
Potential for Development
Many Arsenal fans believe that Cozier-Duberry has the potential to become Saka’s understudy in the first team. They were impressed by his running style and movement, which resembled Saka’s. One fan even claimed that both Cozier-Duberry and another player, Ethan Nwaneri, possess qualities similar to Saka. The fan said, “You know what, there’s some aspect of Bukayo Saka in both Nwaneri and Duberry. That drop of the shoulder and finish reminisce Saka all day.”
Recognition from Arsenal’s Youth Boss
Cozier-Duberry has been hailed as “the jewel” of Arsenal’s academy and was fast-tracked into the first team earlier this year. Although he did not make it into the squad for a Premier League clash with West Ham, he has caught the attention of club officials. His current contract expires this summer, and Arsenal is keen to secure his future at the club.
Jack Wilshere, Arsenal’s youth boss, spoke highly of Cozier-Duberry’s potential. He compared him to Saka and praised his ability to make things happen on the pitch. Wilshere also acknowledged that Cozier-Duberry needs to work on his decision-making skills but emphasized his exciting talent.
Nwaneri’s Youngest Premier League Debut
Another player who stood out during the U21s match was Ethan Nwaneri. At just 15 years old, Nwaneri became the youngest-ever Premier League player when he made his debut in 2022. His performance in the match against Stoke U21s further impressed fans, who recognized his potential alongside Cozier-Duberry and Saka.
Looking Ahead
Arsenal fans are excited about the prospects of Cozier-Duberry and Nwaneri. They believe that these young talents could potentially shape the future of the club. With their skills and abilities reminiscent of first-team star Bukayo Saka, there is hope that they can continue to develop and contribute to Arsenal’s success in the years to come.
