Birmingham City have won the race for sought-after Liverpool winger Lewis Koumas.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano who says the teenager has ‘decided’ to join Blues, with Championship rivals Wrexham, Sheffield United, Hull City and Preston North End also linked.
Romano says an agreement has been reached with a medical to follow and is adamant the 19-year-old ‘will play for Birmingham City’.
BirminghamLive has been told the transfer is not yet complete but it does seem likely that the former Stoke City loan player will come to St Andrew’s, as the club’s tenth signing and fourth loanee.
Koumas would join Tommy Doyle, James Beadle and Eiran Cashin as players on the fringes of Premier League teams who have opted to continue their careers at upwardly mobile Blues.
Chris Davies currently has Demarai Gray, Keshi Anderson and the injured Scott Wright as options on the flank, with the likes of Jay Stansfield, Taylor Gardner-Hickman, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Willum Willumsson and Kanya Fujimoto able to operate wide, if not in optimal circumstances.
