Amario joined us from Arsenal this summer.

Amario Cozier-Duberry has said the main reason he joined Albion was because of the first team opportunities here.

The 19-year-old left Arsenal in the summer after being a part of their academy for five years, signing for us on a four-year deal.

“It was a very big decision [to leave Arsenal],” Amario explained. “But I am very happy with my decision so far and I really like it here. I am enjoying it. Everyone is very welcoming.

Watch all the action from Tokyo's National Stadium, as summer signings Cozier-Dubbery and Minteh opened their Albion accounts, as well as Sarmiento and Ayari converting.

“It was about opportunity. I felt it was the best next step in my career.”

He also impressed in his first appearance for Albion, netting a brace in our 5-1 win over Kashima Antlers in Tokyo on Wednesday.

“I really enjoyed it out there. It was a really good experience playing with these fans, they were very supportive.

The winger got on the scoresheet twice against Kashima Antlers.

“I have been working every day in training, getting in these positions to score, so we have all worked very hard on it.”

His two goals were similar finishes, both times finding the bottom left corner with a curling left-footed effort – with the teenager inspired by a Bayern Munich legend.

“One of my favourite players is Arjen Robben. Cutting in and finding that left corner? Definitely! It is one of my trademarks.”
