NewsLewis Koumas signs new Liverpool contract and joins Stoke City on loan
Liverpool striker Lewis Koumas has signed a new long-term contract and completed a season-long loan move to Stoke City.
After making his senior debut for the Reds last season, the 18-year-old has put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield and will now spend the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign with the Championship side.
Koumas, who joined Liverpool from Tranmere Rovers as an U11 player, enjoyed an impressive 2023-24 season, featuring on the bench as the Reds won the Carabao Cup at Wembley in February before marking his professional bow, three days later, with a goal in a 3-0 win over Southampton in an Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie at Anfield.
He has been part of head coach Arne Slot’s squad during pre-season, featuring in the behind-closed-doors friendly against Preston North End in July and on the tour of the USA, where he was involved in the victory over Real Betis in Pittsburgh.
Stoke begin their Championship campaign with a home game against Coventry City today.
