West Brom door to open for Lewis Koumas deal with Liverpool amid manager news
West Brom may have the perfect opportunity to sign Lewis Koumas from Liverpool.
The Reds’ youngster is the son of Baggies legend Jason Koumas and as a result, would be a well-received signing at The Hawthorns.
The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Stoke City and has contributed with four-goal involvements so far in his first full season in senior football.
There is now a chance that the winger could swap the Potteries for the Black Country in the near future after John Heitinga was linked with the manager role in B71.

The former Everton defender has made a positive impression since joining Arne Slot at Liverpool after a spell at West Ham United.
Despite not having the managerial CV of other targets, the Albion hierarchy clearly believes he has the potential to become a top manager.
As well as being an up-and-coming head coach prospect, the ex-Netherlands international has links to the red side of Merseyside which could be utilised in the coming transfer windows.
This could be taken advantage of to bring Koumas to The Hawthorns to follow in his dad’s footsteps.
The Wales international could represent positive competition in attacking areas and also an ideal replacement for Lewis Dobbin if he is to return to Aston Villa.
Given how much excitement this signing could generate among supporters, this could be the perfect start to the potential managerial reign of Heitinga.
