Lewis Koumas Joins Birmingham City on Season-Long Loan
Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas has officially sealed a season-long loan switch to Birmingham City. The 19-year-old forward successfully passed his medical with the Championship side before the deal was finalized.
Koumas made his senior debut for Liverpool in a 3-0 FA Cup victory over Southampton during the 2023/24 campaign. At international level, he has already collected six caps for Wales.
The move was first reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Friday morning via X (formerly Twitter). Birmingham later confirmed the signing through their official channels.
Sharing his excitement about the move, Koumas said:
“Just how big of a club this is, how passionate the fans are, the project that I’ve heard about and after speaking to the gaffer, there was no other way about it – I was coming to Birmingham.”
Birmingham’s Ambitions
After a dominant League One campaign in which they amassed 111 points, Birmingham City returned to the Championship this season. Under manager Paul Davies, they have made a strong start, sitting sixth in the table with four points from their opening two fixtures. The Blues are aiming to secure promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since 2011.
Koumas’ Loan Spell at Stoke City
The Welsh forward spent last season on loan at Stoke City, where he featured in 49 matches across all competitions. He registered six goals and three assists, while showcasing his adaptability by playing in seven different positions — from both wings to central roles in attack and midfield.
