Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry, on loan atBolton Wanderers, was involved in all four goals againstPort Vale on Saturday.

The 19-year-old got two goals and two assists, and has seven goals and seven assists in total this season for the promotion-chasing League One club.

When asked about his performances, manager Steven Schumacher praised Cozier-Duberry as well as the contributions of some of his other players, including top scorer Mason Burstow, and insisted: "We're not just a one-man team."

However, it has sparked reports he may leave the third tier of English football, with a January break clause in his loan contract and Championship offers expected,

Brighton are known to be happy with the loan arrangement and are not actively looking to move him.

Still, clubs like Sheffield United, West Brom, Preston and Bristol City have been mooted as possible destinations, with two years left on his Albion contract as of June.

Bolton have put the England youth international back on an upward trajectory after a mixed first senior loan spell at Blackburn Rovers last season, which was partly disrupted by an ankle injury.

Brighton continue to monitor Cozier-Duberry having signed him from Arsenal, despite attempts to keep him in north London, in July 2024.

Interestingly, Jason Ayto has since made the same move, leaving the Gunners to join Brighton as sporting director in September, and will have some say over the player's long-term future.
