Koumas spent the first half of the 2025-26 season on loan at Birmingham City - where he featured 25 times across all competitions, scoring one goal.His stint with Hull in the second half of the campaign proved more fruitful as Koumas netted three times in 19 appearances in all competitions to help the Tigers gain promotion into the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.On Hull's post-Wembley celebrations, Koumas said: "It's one of the best days of my life for sure and memories that will stay with me forever."I'm really happy with the way my development's going."It's been a good two years. I think I've played nearly 110 games now so I'm just really happy with how it's going and just excited for what's next."The teenager's parent club Liverpool confirmed the sacking of boss Arne Slot on Saturday, 30 May.But Koumas does not believe the departure of the Dutchman will impact his immediate future - with the likelihood that he will once again leave Anfield on loan."I don't really think the plan changes for me," he said."It's just going to be how it's always been, to just keep my head down, keep working hard, and if I impress, I impress.

So let's see what happens."
