‘It’s crazy”- Liverpool youngster ecstatic to be training alongside Luis Diaz

Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas talks about Luis Diaz

17-year-old Liverpool academy star Lewis Koumas is one of several stars from the age-group squads who has an opportunity at his hands to play with the club’s first-team, and naturally, the teenager is star-struck by the likes of Luis Diaz among others.

Speaking to the club’s official website about his experience so far with the club’s regulars in Germany, here is what he had to say, and he actually spoke about the players, Lucho in particular.

“Honestly being here it literally feels like I’m behind a screen. Seeing players I look up to – for example, Luis Diaz, I remember watching him at Anfield last season and now I’m behind him. It just feels crazy, to be honest.”

This unique opportunity allows Koumas to observe Diaz up close, learning from his technique, professionalism, and dedication. The chance to train alongside a player of Diaz’s calibre provides invaluable inspiration and motivation for the young talent to push his own development to new heights.

Koumas, in 19 appearances for the club’s U18 squad, has 13 goals and five assists. With that impressive output at that age, it was surely just a matter of time before the centre-forward got an opportunity to train with the senior team.

Under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp

and the coaching staff, the young striker certainly has the chance to refine his skills, soak up knowledge, and continue his footballing journey alongside players he admires.

With each training session, Koumas certainly has the chance to absorb the wisdom and expertise of experienced first-team superstars. This unique experience not only enhances his skills but also inspires him to strive for greatness and dream of making a lasting impact at Anfield.

As Liverpool’s training camp progresses, supporters eagerly anticipate the growth and progress of promising young talents like Lewis Koumas, Ben Doak, Melkamu Frauendorf and Conor Bradley among others.
