Rangers are still in the race to sign Brighton's 21‑year‑old winger Amario Cozier‑Duberry, despite West Ham and Wolves joining the hunt. Brighton have set a £10 million asking price after rejecting a £7 million offer, and Rangers have already made two bids, the latest at £7.5 million, which were turned down.

Current Offers

Brighton’s manager, Fabian Hurzeler, has made it clear that the club will only accept a deal that meets the £10 million valuation. The 21‑year‑old has attracted interest from several Championship clubs, as well as teams across Scotland and other European leagues. Rangers submitted a first formal bid of £7 million, which was rejected. A second offer of £7.5 million was also turned down, according to Football Insider.

Competition

West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have now entered the transfer race. Both clubs are in the Championship and are aiming for promotion to the Premier League this season. Their larger wage budgets and financial backing give them a better chance of matching Brighton’s asking price. The clubs have expressed a willingness to pay the £10 million fee if it means securing a player who can help them reach the top flight.

Rangers' Position

Despite the growing competition, Rangers remain confident that they can secure Cozier‑Duberry. The Scottish giants have been in talks with Brighton and are reportedly working to match the £10 million valuation. Rangers’ interest in the winger is driven by his pace, dribbling ability and potential to add depth to the squad’s attacking options.

The transfer window is approaching its close, and the pressure on Rangers to act quickly is mounting. While the club has shown a willingness to pay a premium, the financial gap between the £7.5 million offers and Brighton’s £10 million demand creates uncertainty. If Rangers cannot bridge this gap, they risk losing the winger to West Ham or Wolves.

Potential Outcomes

If Rangers manage to agree on a deal that meets Brighton’s price, the winger would join a club that has recently been promoted to the Scottish Premiership and is looking to strengthen its squad for the next season. Alternatively, if West Ham or Wolves outbid Rangers, Cozier‑Duberry could move to the Championship, where he would face a different set of challenges and opportunities.

The transfer saga continues to develop as the deadline approaches, with all parties keen to secure a resolution before the window closes.
