How Rangers could seal bargain Amario Cozier-Duberry signing ahead of long English line
Amario Cozier-Duberry is one name that refuses to go away at Rangers.
The transfer deadline is approaching quickly on 3 September, with serious money being spent at Ibrox already.
Min-su Kim was confirmed as a new £8.5million signing on Thursday, with the Korean winger joining from Girona.
So, it's no surprise to see conditions possibly change for Cozier-Duberry.
As clubs around the United Kingdom line up to sign him, Derek McInnes could have the upperhand.
Brighton change transfer formula for Cozier-Duberry transfer
For weeks now, it's been a permanent exit or a new contract at the AMEX for the exciting winger.
Now, the parameters have changed.
The Scottish Sun has reported that Cozier-Duberry is not only set to sign a new contract, but could leave on loan after.
It's said that up to seven English Championship clubs are on alert.
Burnley, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Swansea, West Ham and Wolves are all interested - making England his most likely destination.
But, Rangers still hold their interest and are in the race.
How Rangers could beat competition to Cozier-Duberry
Much will depend on Thursday's Conference League qualifier against Jablonec.
Holding a 1-0 lead going into the final decider in Czechia, avoid defeat and European football is secured for another year.
That is something that all seven English clubs can't offer.
Cozier-Duberry has played in League One with Bolton before, so another year in England does very little for him.
Being at Ibrox could hand him European football, as well as fighting for all available silverware and having that pressure on his shoulders.
Of course, Tony Bloom could scupper any of those plans given his interest in Hearts, but that shouldn't come into it.
Cozier-Duberry will have a say on where he moves, and given the money Rangers have spent, a loan could be perfect for all parties.
There won't be many other clubs busier than the Bears in England and Scotland over the next week, and it's needed.
Rangers and McInnes are five points behind Celtic and clinging on in Europe, new signings are needed more than ever.
