🚨 RANGERS REJECTED! Brighton turns down £7.5m for Cozier-Duberry

📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Brighton just told Rangers to pump the brakes on that £7.5m bid for Amario Cozier-Duberry, and it's not hard to see why. The 21-year-old was a beast on loan at Bolton, bagging 8 goals and 12 assists in 34 games while helping them win the League One play-offs and earning a spot in the team of the season. He's been all over Brighton's pre-season under Fabian Hurzeler, though he was just an unused sub in Saturday's 1-0 win over Bologna. With less than two years left on his contract, Championship clubs are circling for a loan, while Rangers want him permanently. Brighton's already scouting replacements, including Millwall's Femi Azeez. 💭 MY TAKE: This is Brighton playing chess, not checkers. Cozier-Duberry has clear value and they won't let him walk for cheap. The twist? That fee would've been Rangers' second-biggest spend in over 20 years. They're desperate for help after a rough start, and McInnes knows it. Brighton holding firm while keeping him in the picture? Smart. That price tag only goes up if he keeps developing.
