Mikel Arteta has upheld Arsenal’s longstanding tradition of nurturing and promoting the club’s most promising young talents into the first team, a practice that has solidified Arsenal’s reputation as a premier destination for budding footballers across Europe. Under Arteta’s stewardship, Arsenal remains committed to developing and harnessing the potential of its youth prospects.
Recent examples include Ethan Nwaneri and Charles Sagoe Jr., both of whom have earned opportunities with the first team based on their notable progress and performances. The latest prospect poised to make his mark is Amario Cozier-Duberry, as reported by The Sun. Cozier-Duberry, an 18-year-old versatile player capable of operating as a winger or an attacking midfielder, has impressed within the confines of Arsenal’s academy setup, thus meriting promotion to the first-team training sessions.
The Sun’s report indicates that Cozier-Duberry has been integrated into first-team training sessions in preparation for Arsenal’s upcoming match against West Ham. This development underscores Arsenal’s ongoing commitment to nurturing young talent and providing them with pathways to showcase their abilities at the highest level of competition.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have some of the finest youngsters in the country in our age groups and most of them have a bright future ahead.
When they partake in first-team training, it tests how far ahead of their teammates they are.
It also inspires them to do better and stay committed, knowing that a first-team chance is much closer.
Cozier-Duberry may not play in the game against West Ham, but he is now very close to a first-team chance.

Wow we do have an academy after all ….
Wenger was famed for bringing youth through
Pep is doing the same
i beg to differ that Arteta does, despite this tutorage
in fact i can’t think of any he has brought through for consistent game time to develop their game
the opposite if anything given the strength of our academy
Nwaneri I am sure will be top player, however his ‘youngest ever PL player’ 5 minute debut has been followed by zero minutes since, and feels like a stunt, or a desparate attempt to keep Nwaneri
unfortunately the same feels true here of Cozier-Duberry who recently reported as being courted by others
don’t get me wrong, i would give Cozier-Duberry a chance, and many others, they deserve it, it is supposed to be part of the culture of Arsenal
I support Arteta on nearly everything, but not this
I was stunned and disappointed to see Sousa leave on a permanent 2 weeks ago when we are clearly exposed and short defensively at left-back
that said the Balogun looks like the right call given we could use an out-and-out striker alternative from time to time, but not as often as some simple minded fans make out
so all for giving our academy players a chance or what’s the point, unfortunately Arteta form suggests we are lagging behind Pep and Klopp on this one
Am afraid, blending in young talents is not the gaffer strength, neither should we expect any kid making a meaningful contribution going into the business end of the campaign.
Its not even an article. Theres nothing to suggest, that, any youth are going to get promoted. Theres nothing that hasn’t or has been dine this last 4 plus years. A non article.
As a coach, Arteta has many strengths, and Arsenal’s position in the top three is a testament to that. However, he also has a few weaknesses, one of the most glaring being his inability to develop and integrate youth. This is one of the main reasons I don’t think he is the best choice for Arsenal, despite us competing for the title. We will always need to spend to acquire talent, which is a significant departure from our tradition. It is not the Arsenal way! I still think his action of debuting Nwaneri just to set the record for the youngest EPL debutant, and then never granting him any meaningful playtime, was an insult to the player and the footballing world at large.
This post is just a propaganda piece for Arteta. Repeating the same old same old, Saka Martinelli and ESR are not Arteta prodigies, nether is Saliba and worryingly we haven’t produced a decent defender since Ashley Cole, although that’s not Arteta’s fault.. Whatever our manager’s merits, having an eye for talent is not one of them.merits having an eye fo
The great Arsene Wenger wrote in his autobiography that he only turned to youth when Viera, Henry and Pires left, as the club were committed to building the new Stadium and there was no money available to buy established players. Maybe youth players at every Club only get promoted if they are exceptional talents such as Wayne Rooney or the club is cash strapped.
The article asserting Arteta “promotes youth” and saying he is “continuing the tradition” is a weak argument.
The only promotions are to first team training, and Souza was “promoted” to traing as well; how did that end? Despite the fact we need a LB.
Nwaneri promotion was stunt to entice him to stay at Arsenal and fend off interest.
Can anyone name a player promoted by Arteta in 4 years?
Disingenuous to say he promotes youth and continues the tradition, yet not a single example one can cite as evidence.
Patino is a likely candidate, and a better midfielder than Vieira in my opinion. Let’s see how he is handled this Summer.
The team has progressed in the last couple of years as one of the youngest teams in the league.
As for the Acedemy players can you name a player who should have been promoted? What is the basis for believing that Patino is better than Vieira?
