Sunderland compensation twist emerges as Rangers want striker Mason Cotcher
Sunderland are owed compensation for Rangers target Mason Cotcher, who’s had trials at Arsenal, Manchester United and Leeds United, according to the East Anglian Daily Times.
The news outlet reported on Wednesday, 24 April, that should Sunderland and Ipswich Town, the club where he’s currently plying his trade, fail to agree on a fee, a tribunal may have to step in for that.
Along with Gers, there is a host of Premier League interest as not just Arsenal and Manchester United, but Brighton are keeping tabs on the 17-year-old as well.
Rangers must secure Mason Cotcher’s transfer
Cotcher’s potential signing for Gers could be highly beneficial for the club in the long term, given his impressive background and the interest he has garnered from several high-profile clubs.
At just 17 years old, Cotcher has already trained with Arsenal’s first team and Manchester United, showcasing his talent and potential.
Furthermore, his involvement with England’s youth international teams highlights his ability and promise.
For the Ibrox outfit, securing Cotcher could bring in young talent with significant room for growth, fitting well into the club’s long-term strategy of nurturing young players into first-team regulars.
This approach has been successful in the past, with players like Bailey Rice and Zak Lovelace benefiting from such opportunities.
Cotcher’s versatility as a striker or winger adds to his value, as he can contribute to the team in multiple positions.
His scoring abilities, demonstrated by his goal for Ipswich Town’s Under-21s, indicate that he could become an asset for the Gers’ first team in the future.
