Amario Cozier-Duberry could be the perfect solution to West Brom woes as loan switch lined up
West Brom are one of several Championship clubs interested in Brighton forward Amario Cozier-Duberry.
Cozier-Duberry is currently thriving on loan in League One with Bolton Wanderers, and Ryan Mason‘s side face competition for his signature.
A report from BBC Sport on 11 November claims that The Hawthorns outfit, Sheffield United, Preston and Bristol City want to take over his loan deal when the transfer market reopens.
The Baggies have lacked goals this season, as their forwards have struggled to find the back of the net, and the Seagulls loanee could be an option.
Why do West Brom want to sign Amario Cozier-Duberry?
West Brom’s strikers have had dismal fortunes, which is why they are currently sitting in 14th place in the Championship.
Aune Heggebo has scored just two goals in 15 games for West Brom, and Josh Maja and Daryl Dike are injury-prone and have not featured much.
Mason needs to add goals to his side, and Cozier-Duberry would surely do that, as he has notched seven goals and seven assists in 17 matches in all competitions this season.
Whether he could translate that form into the second-tier remains to be seen, but it is an exciting potential option for Albion.

Would Brighton let him switch loans in January?
There is much to be said about stability for a young player when they are loaned away from a club.
The report from the BBC claims that Brighton are not actively looking for the …-year-old to switch clubs and are satisfied with the loan arrangement, but it does have a break clause.
However, the Baggies would represent a tougher challenge and an opportunity for the former Arsenal man to test himself at a higher level.
That could help the south coast side to see how far away he is from starring in the Premier League, so they could be willing to sanction a change, if the Black Country club can present a compelling argument.
One thing is for sure, the B71 side need a new option to lead the line, and it would be a risk free move, therefore, potentially the perfect solution.
