Arne Slot will love working with ‘special’ Liverpool youngster next season, he’s hugely underrated

There were plenty of players from the club’s academy who came through and caught the eye at first-team level, including in the famous Carabao Cup win over Chelsea at Wembley.

But this is just the beginning. More will come over the next few years and those who have made their mark will continue to develop under Liverpool’s likely next manager, Arne Slot.

Why Arne Slot will love working with Lewis Koumas

One of those players who has shown in flashes this season what he is capable of is Lewis Koumas.

Koumas scored on his first team debut with the first shot against Southampton in the FA Cup. Trained regularly with the first team and ended the season as top scorer for the U21s – a feat he also achieved at U18 level last season for Liverpool.

Under Slot, Koumas should get even more first-team opportunities. He is exactly the kind of winger that the new Liverpool manager likes to work with. Koumas is direct, very good in one-on-one situations and presses the ball brilliantly.

Why Lewis Koumas is ‘special’ and underrated

At the start of the season, Jurgen Klopp named Lewis Koumas in what he called a “special” group from the club’s academy.

But you still fell like he flies a little under the radar. Probably overshadowed by the likes of Jayden Danns, Bobby Clark and Kaide Gordon.

However, Koumas is just as talented and has the potential to go very far in the game. He is definitely one to keep a close eye on.
