After abandoning his childhood club in the North East of England, the young striker has been practicing with Arsenal’s senior team, according to a Daily Telegraph writer who made the revelation on Twitter on Friday morning, November 24.Rangers has been keeping a close eye on the 17-year-old as they try to sign him; a cross-border move to Scotland would necessitate a far smaller compensation sum.
The young player, who just started U18 training with the Gunners, has already made an impression in two U18 Premier League games, helping to score and provide an assist against Crystal Palace.
The former Sunderland player appears to have impressed Mikel Arteta, who is working him at The Arsenal working Centre alongside the rest of the first squad.This may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Rangers and the player to sign one of the hottest players of his generation.
According to Transfermarkt, Cotcher made 27 appearances for the Black Cats’ U18 team, scoring nine goals and providing one assist.
Cotcher’s development would only become better while working under Philippe Clement and picking the brains of seasoned professionals like James Tavernier, John Lundstram, Tom Lawrence, and Kemar Roofe. Ross McCausland was another a promising talent.Without a doubt, the child will be a project in the future. It would be an investment in a promising talent that must be nurtured and developed before being given the opportunity to play for the first squad.
