Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas is caught in a tug-of-war between England and Wales over national team allegiance... with Reds starlet wanted for international youth fixtures in June

Talented Liverpool youngster Lewis Koumas is at the centre of a tug-of-war between England and Wales over which country he should represent.

Koumas, 17, is wanted by Wales under-19s for their two games against Sweden in June but England have also taken note of the young forward and asked about his availability for their under-18s internationals against Norway and Australia in Lisbon.

The Anfield prospect joined Liverpool at the age of 11 and signed his first professional contract in January after his 17th birthday.

He made his debut in the EFL Trophy last year alongside Stefan Bajcetic and has also impressed and scored goals in the UEFA Youth League.
