Stoke City update regarding Lewis Koumas
Stoke City landed Koumas to add more competition and depth to their attacking ranks.
He was given the green light to leave Liverpool on a temporary basis to get some experience under his belt.

The youngster has since enjoyed plenty of game time with the Potters and is looking to help them stay up.
Crystal Palace could see him as one for the future as they plot potential additions.
After signing Koumas, Stoke City sporting director Jon Walters told their website at the time: “In Lewis, we are signing a player of huge potential and I’m excited to see what the 24/25 season has in store for him in a Stoke City shirt.
“We are thankful to Liverpool for entrusting us with one of their brightest prospects ahead of other interested clubs.
“I know he’ll be warmly welcomed into the Stoke City family and will get all the support he needs – from staff, teammates and fans alike – to be successful with the Club.”
The Wales international, who has five caps to his name, joined Liverpool in 2016 from Tranmere Rovers.
He has since risen up through the academy ranks of the Reds and has played once for their first-team.
What now for Lewis Koumas at Stoke City?
Koumas’ focus will be on survival with Stoke City right now.
He is then due to return to Anfield when his stay is over.
Time will tell whether Crystal Palace end up launching a move.
