Liverpool teenager Lewis Koumas is determined to prove his worth in a Wales shirt having helped Hull City gain promotion into the Premier League.
At the age of just 19, Lewis Koumas has already achieved a lot in senior football . The attacker helped Hull City gain promotion prior to returning to parent club Liverpool and has amassed 11 senior caps for Wales .
But the talented youngster is modest enough to know that his journey in football has barely even started yet, particularly when it comes to his national team.
"I don't really think have seen anything from me yet if I'm going to be honest," he told BBC Sport Wales prior to his side's June fixtures. "I've only had some cameos to try and show myself so I need to work harder and show a little bit more to try and get the trust of the gaffer.
"I definitely want to be a top player at the top level and internationally I want to play for Wales as much as I can. "Having vowed to show Welsh supporters what he is all about, Koumas did just that as he headed Neco Williams' cross into the net in the final minutesIt ensured he got his goal account up and running almost exactly two years on from his first appearance on the international stage under Robert Page against Gibraltar in June 2024.
Koumas - son of former Wales midfielder Jason Koumas - has been a regular in squads under current boss Craig Bellamy, with the target now being to consistently force his way into the starting 11.
"Ultimately I like trying to see what I can take from his game and put it into mine because he was a top, top player and he scored goals and that's exactly what I want to do. "He's a great role model to work off and to be with him day-to-day here when I get called up to camp is a blessing.
"Lewis Koumas was an unused substitute as Hull City beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley 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.
"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.
"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. "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. "
