Koumas is considered one of the Reds' most promising young players. So his first appearance could mean that his debut with the first team could happen at any moment. He can play as a center forward, right winger and attacking midfielder, being a player of great sacrifice, as he does not wait for the ball to reach his feet, besides being a player with great technique and good vision. So his debut is only a matter of time, as the youngster has great potential and needs to be polished before the departure of Jürgen Klopp.

This season, 18-year-old Lewis Koumas has incredible numbers, as in just 14 games in all competitions with Liverpool in the lower divisions, he has scored a total of 10 goals and has provided 3 assists, so this coupled with the various casualties that could present the team, the debut of this youth is imminent.

Klopp's kids

After Sunday's final with several Academy players, young elements such as Danns, Clark, Bradley and McConnell were named as Klopp's kids, which could also include Trey Nyoni, who at just 16 years of age would be the next to make his debut.
