Club 'considering' move for Liverpool forward after sale of £15m star

There is plenty of youth and academy talents around Liverpool available for loan next season. We could see Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni go elsewhere for senior minutes, for example, rather than playing underage football.

Ahead of the last campaign, the Reds sent the likes of Ben Doak and Owen Beck out on loan to the Championship and those two fared well.

Doak was electric for Middlesbrough in the second tier until an injury curtailed his season in February.

Beck, meanwhile, established himself as a left-back of some repute with Blackburn. Another who was loaned out last season was 19-year-old forward Lewis Koumas.

In truth it was a difficult campaign for the Welshman at Stoke City with the Potters going through THREE managers over the course of the season.

Koumas nonetheless acquitted himself well, appearing in close to 50 matches overall and scoring six times.

Koumas set for another loan deal

It’s been suggested that Koumas could be listed for loan once again for the 2025/26 campaign and Norwich City are among the top candidates to sign him.

The Canaries are remodelling their attack during this off-season with top scorer Borja Sainz agreeing a £15m move to Porto.

Norwich have slready secured somewhat of a coup by landing forward Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brondby but Liam Manning’s side aren’t stopping there.

They still have ambitions to improve their attack in wide areas and Koumas is being considered.

Norwich consider move for Koumas

That’s according to a new report in the Eastern Daily Press.

“Mathias Kvistgaarden is seen as an option both on the left and through the middle, and is expected to arrive as the first of two wingers this summer,” the report states.

“The other is likely to be a Premier League loanee, with Liverpool's Lewis Koumas among the players considered.”

Hopes are high for Koumas

Liverpool did loan business with Norwich last season although things didn’t work out for Kaide Gordon, who saw his spell at the club cut short before joining Portsmouth.

Hopes are nonetheless high for Koumas, who has already played and scored for Liverpool’s first team.
