Amario Cozier-Duberry has something Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman haven't shown at Rangers
Amario Cozier-Duberry could be the difference maker that Rangers need right now.
Derek McInnes is in the market for players who can help the Gers overhaul Hearts and Celtic.
They finished eight points behind the 54-year-old's former side and their arch-rivals after a miserable end to the season, so they need fresh impetus, especially in attack.
Ibrox News shared reports that the Gers have the Brighton prospect on their radar.
If he came in on the right flank, he would offer more than what Djeidi Gassama and Oliver Antman have shown in their time at Ibrox on the right-wing.
That duo have had mixed spells with the Govan side, and the evidence suggests that 21-year-old would leave them worried if a move happens.
How does Amario Cozier-Duberry compare to Rangers current right-wing options?
The Athletic reported on Tuesday that McInnes' side are keen on the young winger.
Cozier-Duberry lit up the English League One last season, with eight goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances.
Gassama only managed three goals and five assists in 38 matches, while Antman's tally was truly dismal with one strike and three assists in 16 games.
The Bolton Wanderers loanee averaged 3.29 shots per 90, compared to 2.52 and 1.68 for the current Light Blues players, according to Fotmob data.
The potential new addition created 1.80 chances on a per 90 minutes basis, with Gassama recording a figure of 1.48 and Antman managing 2.84.
The Mauritanian ace had 6.12 touches in the opposition box per game, the Finnish winger had 5.69, while the former Arsenal academy man averaged 5.53.
Ultimately, the data suggests that the 21-year-old has a ruthless streak that the Gers pair do not possess, as he has more goals, assists and shots per 90, despite taking less touches in the box.
Could Cozier-Duberry produce good numbers in Scotland?
He could make the step up to the Scottish Premiership and produce the numbers, as he adapted well already to a new league last season.
The Premier League club clearly believe that he has what it takes, too, as they plan to make him a part of their first-team plans.
Whether the Bears can convince them to sell remains to be seen, but they should at least try to do so.
