Wolverhampton Wanderers are exploring a move for Amario Cozier-Duberry, who is also a target for Rangers. Cozier-Duberry's name has been linked to Rangers throughout the summer, having shone on loan with Bolton Wanderers last season. However, with a move for Couhaib Driouech falling through, alternative targets are now being eyed at Ibrox. Cozier-Duberry's current parent club Brighton seems not to have him in Fabian Hurzeler's first-team plans at the Amex. This has opened the door for Wolves to join the hunt.
What has been said about Wolves' interest in Amario Cozier-Duberry?
Wolves reporter for Express & Star Liam Keen has claimed via X on Tuesday that Wanderers are now exploring a move for Cozier-Duberry. Keen claims that Wolves do have other targets in mind, but it's a position where the newly-relegated Championship side want to do business at.
Why Wolves may be easier sell to Cozier-Duberry than Rangers
Having just been relegated from the Premier League, Wolves are hoping to win an instant promotion straight back there in 2026-27. Under the new management of Cesar Peixoto, Wanderers have made just the four new signings to their squad so far this summer. Where Cozier-Duberry's main position is concerned, the right wing, Wolves aren't blessed with depth there. Rodrigo Gomes is currently the starting option, but he's not an out-and-out right winger by trade, as he's capable of playing on either side and even at wing-back.
What comes next?
The same perhaps can't be said if he was to join Rangers, especially after Gers have recently brought in Daisuke Yokota from Hannover. McInnes also has the likes of Ross McCrorie, Thelo Aasgaard, Ross McCausland, Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama who can all play on the right too. Rangers dropping out of the Europa League will also be a blow to their attractiveness too. So, with Wolves being closer to home, having less competition for minutes and offering a route back to the Premier League, Rangers could have their work cut out convincing Cozier-Duberry now.
