Bukayo Saka is one of the best wingers in the Premier League, and when you read that Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea have been linked with a player who is rated as highly as the Arsenal and England star, then you have to be excited.
Chelsea and Arsenal are London and Premier League rivals, but even then, the Stamford Bridge faithful have to admit that Bukayo Saka is a really good player.
Saka is only 22 now, but he is already a key player for Arsenal and England.
And he is going to get even better.
Chelsea want to sign Arsenal winger Amario Cozier-Duberry
Now Chelsea are being linked with an Arsenal player who has been tipped to give Saka a run for his money in the Gunners’ team.
According to Football Transfers, Chelsea are interested in signing Arsenal winger Amario Cozier-Duberry.
Manchester City are also claimed to be interested in the 18-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.
The report has claimed that Arsenal are in talks with Cozier-Duberry over a new deal.

The North London club reportedly see the teenager as someone who can compete with Saka in the future.
Football Transfers has quoted former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere as saying: “Amario is very exciting and Mikel likes him.
“He reminds me of Bukayo Saka, plays in the same position as him, needs to get better with his decision-making like Bukayo did, but he’s definitely exciting.
“In some moments he’s unplayable. You give him the ball and he can make things happen. You can set up a team and have a game plan, but when you’ve got individuals like that you’ve got a chance.”
Chelsea could struggle to sign Amario Cozier-Duberry
While there is no doubt that Chelsea have what it takes to attract a player like Amario Cozier-Duberry, that Arsenal are in talks with him over a new contract suggests that it would be tough for the Blues to get a deal done.
After all, Arsenal are fully aware of what the 18-year-old is capable of.
Cozier-Duberry is a player the Gunners would not want to lose, especially to Chelsea, and we should not be surprised if the North London club eventually manage to convince him to sign a new contract.
