Wolves chase Brighton winger as £12.7m Molineux star loathes it

Wolves are keen to add Brighton’s 21‑year‑old winger Amario Cozier‑Duberry as the club rushes to bolster its flanks before the transfer deadline, a move that could see the £12.7m Molineux signing Rodrigo Gomes lose his place and dislike the development.

Wolves' transfer activity and winger shortage

Wolves have already secured three signings – Kieran Trippier, Raul Jimenez and Rafiki Said – but Said’s injury has left the squad thin on the right. With only Mateus Mane and Rodrigo Gomes available, manager Cesar Peixoto has signalled a clear need for a new winger.

The target, Amario Cozier‑Duberry, is under contract with Brighton but impressed on loan at Bolton, netting nine goals and providing ten assists as the club earned promotion. His pace, willingness to take risks and ability to beat defenders have drawn praise from scouts.

Rangers previously offered £7.5m for Cozier‑Duberry, a bid that Brighton rejected, meaning Wolves must outbid any future offers. The Seagulls remain firm on his price, complicating the chase.

Potential impact on Rodrigo Gomes

Current right‑winger Rodrigo Gomes, who joined Wolves in the summer of 2024 and has made over 50 appearances, could be the biggest loser if the transfer goes through. His recent 2‑2 draw against Blackburn saw him fail to create a chance, lose possession six times and be substituted in the 67th minute.

Chairman Nathan Shi has hinted at major changes this summer, emphasizing the need for fierce competition and depth after injuries have hit the squad. Peixoto knows that consistent training performances will decide who earns a place in the starting XI.
