Overview
- Liverpool Echo reports both Championship clubs are preparing permanent offers for the Wales forward after his breakout year.
- Koumas did not feature for Liverpool’s under-21s in their Premier League 2 defeat at Leicester, with reports expecting a move before the window closes.
- The winger featured in 43 of Stoke City’s 46 league matches last season, recording three goals and two assists and boosting his market value.
- Despite signing a long-term contract in August 2024, he faces limited first-team chances under Arne Slot, making a sale increasingly plausible.
- Sheffield United, Norwich, Preston and Hull are monitoring the situation, with earlier links to Sevilla and Oxford, while Birmingham and Wrexham bring high-profile ownership profiles into the race.
