Liverpool starlet attracting interest from Championship sides after impressing during loan spell with Stoke City

Liverpool forward Lewis Koumas is drawing enquiries from Championship sides Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion.

The 19-year old has been impressing on loan at Stoke City where he is playing regularly, clocking up 29 appearances so far this season and notching four goals in the process.

Despite Stoke struggling to stay clear of the relegation places and recently changing manager, appointing Mark Robins last week, Liverpool continue to be happy with his progress and the experience he is gaining.

Koumas has also furthered his international career with Wales continuing to recognise his development and handing him five full caps since the summer.

Promotion chasing sides have also been keeping a close eye on his form this season. 

Sheffield United are long term admirers, while West Brom, where his father Jason played, and Watford are all looking at Koumas as a forward who could give them an extra edge in the crucial second half of the season.

However, Stoke remain hopeful that they can keep him as they look to make a late charge of their own up the table.

Koumas scored in his only ever senior appearance for Liverpool, coming in a 3-0 win over Southampton in a 2024 Carabao Cup win. 

Koumas joined the Reds from Tranmere as an Under 11 player – much to the frustration of the local League Two club – and forged his way into the fringes of the first-team reckoning last year, going on the pre-season tour and making his debut.

In August last year he signed a new long-term deal at the Reds after impressing the previous season. 

His Stoke City side are next in action on Saturday in the FA Cup third round against fellow Championship outfit Sunderland.
