The 20-year-old was voted the Player of the Match in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third-round win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. It was the fourth time he has taken to the pitch for the Reds this season, having caught the eye of head coach Andoni Iraola early on in pre-season. Asked by reporters whether he envisaged this start to 2026-27, the Academy product replied: "No, I would have woken up! I would have thought I was dreaming. It's crazy. "But I'm just really happy and very grateful for the opportunities I've been given."You never know when your last time on the pitch for Liverpool is going to be. I just try to leave everything out there every time."My hunger comes from representing Liverpool Football Club, wanting to give everything for the best club in the world."

Koumas added: "A lot of it is about what I do off the ball. The gaffer has shown trust to me that I can carry out his plans in terms of how we want to play tactically. I was happy to do that for him."It gives me so much motivation the fact he's putting me in for a game like this. I want to kick on now."

After his impressive display against Tottenham, Lewis Koumas explained how he treats every chance to represent Liverpool as if it is going to be his last.
