Liverpool supporters are eager for the club to kick off its transfer activity, but it looks like departures may happen before any new arrivals are announced. According to Paul Joyce on X, young talent Lewis Koumas is a loan target for Championship side Stoke City. Before heading out, the 18-year-old is expected to sign a new contract with Liverpool, securing his future at the club.
This approach is a common one for nurturing young prospects—ensuring they are tied down long-term before allowing them to gain valuable experience elsewhere. A loan spell in the Championship would offer Koumas the chance to test himself in a more competitive environment, providing regular first-team football and a new challenge in senior football.
Having been given opportunities under Jurgen Klopp, it seems new manager Arne Slot is keen to see Koumas develop further by continuing his progression at another club next season. The young attacker’s performances last season even earned him a call-up to the Welsh national team, and he’ll be eager to build on that momentum.
Fans will be closely watching Koumas as he joins Steven Schumacher’s squad, hoping that this move helps him take the next big step in his career.
