Liverpool: So, it looks like Liverpool is pretty pleased with how Lewis Koumas is doing on loan at Stoke City. But here’s the twist—West Brom, Sheffield United, and Watford are all eyeing him for the second half of the season.
Koumas, the young forward, has netted four goals in 29 games for Stoke, who are currently sitting in 19th place. Liverpool seems happy with his playing time, but it’s unclear if they’d let him go elsewhere.
Sheffield United is pushing for a direct promotion to the Premier League, while West Brom and Watford are hoping for a play-off spot. All three clubs want Koumas to help boost their chances, according to the Daily Mail.
Stoke is still holding out hope to keep the talented youngster, who has already made five appearances for Wales. He debuted internationally against Gibraltar and played in three Nations League matches this season.
Before heading to Stoke, Koumas signed a new deal with Liverpool, but the details on that are a bit murky. He did score in his only senior match for Liverpool, which was a 3-0 win over Southampton in the FA Cup.
Fun fact: Koumas is just 19 and is the son of Jason Koumas, a former pro who played in the Premier League for West Brom and Wigan Athletic. Small world, right?
