• Benefitting from an injury problem suffered by Demarai Gray, Koumas has found his way into Chris Davies’ starting lineup of late. Koumas scored his first goal of the season against high-flying Coventry a few weeks back.
• And he looks set to have an extended run in the team owing to Gray’s absence - with the former Leicester star not due to return until the end of January. Koumas had Liverpool conversationsThe player has now admitted to the Birmingham Mail that talks have been held with parent club Liverpool - indicating that an early return could be on the cards.

If Liverpool decide to end Koumas’s loan spell ahead of schedule then it’s unlikely he would remain with the senior squad for the rest of the season. More likely is that the versatile attacker is fixed up with another loan move in the Championship or elsewhere for the second half of the campaign. Koumas has already played - and scored - for Liverpool’s first team - making a breakthrough under Jurgen Klopp - but hasn’t yet been given a chance under Arne Slot.
