Stoke City loanee Lewis Koumas is hoping to prove to the incoming Liverpool manager that he has an Anfield future. The 20-year-old former Potters loanee made a sensational scoring debut for Jurgen Klopp's Reds in an FA Cup tie against Southampton in February 2024. Koumas was only 18 years and 162 days old at the time, and he became one of Liverpool's youngest scorers just days after being an unused substitute in their League Cup final victory over Chelsea. However, under new manager Arne Slot, Koumas was sent out to develop and spent a year in the Championship at Stoke City, followed by half-a-season at Birmingham City and then Hull City. He made 17 league appearances, including four starts, to help Hull win promotion via the play-offs. Koumas is expected to add to his 10 Wales caps alongside Sorba Thomas in the friendly double-header against Ghana and Romania. The young midfielder is unsure about his future but is happy with the way he has developed over the last couple of years and some of the achievements he has had. Koumas hopes he has impressed and will just have to see what happens. He did not feature at Wembley as Hull beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final, but he counted a debut winner at Blackburn and a decisive effort against play-off rivals Wrexham among his three Tigers' goals. International duty has deprived Koumas of joining Hull's end-of-season party in Las Vegas. Koumas said: 'I sort of spent two years in and around the first team in Liverpool under Klopp, training mostly but I made my debut which I scored in. I remember coming in pre-season after that, signed a new contract, and got told I was going to Stoke on loan. It was a bit scary because I didn't know what to expect but I ended up playing 49 games. I played 25 games at Birmingham, which was OK, but it wasn't really what I was looking for and decided that change in January would be for the best. To go to Hull and achieve something very special, the changing room is definitely one of a kind, and to do it with them was one of the best feelings ever. I'm just really happy with how it has developed over the last two years and I'm excited for the future now. Staying in and around first-team environments is definitely what's been key for me the last year or so. It's definitely going to help a lot, all the experiences I've been lucky enough to have is all going to pay off in the end.'
