Wolves Join the Hunt for Brighton Winger

Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially entered the race for Brighton’s 21‑year‑old winger Amario Cozier‑Duberry. The 21‑year‑old is set to leave Brighton this summer, and Wolves are hoping to secure his signature before the summer transfer window closes in two weeks.

Rangers and West Ham Eye the Player

Reports from Scotland claim Rangers are closing in on a deal for Cozier‑Duberry, while Football Insider says West Ham United are “well‑placed” to beat the Scottish Premiership side to his signature. Both clubs are reportedly offering competitive bids to the Brighton winger.

Wolves’ Interest and Brighton’s Rejections

Wolves entered the race for the winger this week, adding them to a list of clubs across the Championship, Scotland and elsewhere in Europe that are interested in the player. Rangers have reportedly already seen two offers rejected by the Seagulls, indicating that Brighton is still firm on the player’s value.

Other Transfer News

While Wolves focus on Cozier‑Duberry, Aston Villa are reportedly set to sign former Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka as a free agent. Goretzka’s contract with Bayern expired this summer, and Villa is planning his medical ahead of an official announcement next week. Villa’s move would replace Youri Tielemans, who joined Manchester United during the transfer window.

Villa’s Target: Palace Striker

Villa are also reportedly targeting French striker Jean‑Philippe Mateta, who is embroiled in a contractual dispute with Crystal Palace. The Eagles are said to have no intention of selling the centre‑forward, and Mateta has launched an official dispute with FIFA over the remainder of his contract, which is due to expire next summer.
