ACD joined Arsenal in 2019 and has quickly become one of the brightest prospects at Hale End. By 15, Amario was featuring for the U18s, scoring 1 goal and adding 1 assist in 3 appearances during the 20/21 season (assists the 3rd goal below).
In the 21/22 season, ACD was a focal point of the U18 side with 5 g/a in the 1st 4 games of the season. By 16, Amario earned himself multiple U23 appearances and a crucial role with the England U17s in their fight for European Championship Qualification.
ACD is an explosive winger with excellent technical skill and dribbling abilities. He carries a bit of flair with his feet and body, allowing him to easily beat defenders in 1v1s and create goal scoring opportunities for himself and teammates.
Due to his ball control, ACD isn’t afraid to go directly at defenders and likes to dribble in tight areas, even when it seems there’s nothing there. Amario has an excellent low center of gravity, allowing him to bounce off defenders and stay on the ball.
ACD’s most unique quality is his ability to control the ball, cross, and finish at top speed. Amario’s incredibly pacey as well as explosive on his first few dribbles. Not all wingers have such control at top pace but ACD can do it all at lightning speeds.
ACD’s weakness is his lack of weak foot. He prefers to move the ball on to his left for all actions. However, with his unpredictability and creativity it doesn’t hold him back. Plenty of one-footed wingers have succeeded at the top level.
ACD signed his 1st pro contract and this season will play mostly with the U23s but could struggle to find consistent game time if the likes of Hutchinson, Flores and others don’t leave on loan. With Amario’s skill level he should be moved up an age group this season permanently.
Amario Cozier-Duberry is a rare talent due to his tech/pace combo. It makes his actions hard to read and allows him to create counter attacks by himself once he’s picked up the ball. Once his frame fills out he’ll be a handful for any opposition.
A speedy goal contributor🌪️
