Robbie Fowler reveals how he helped Liverpool discover Lewis Koumas in a totally different position

Lewis Koumas is the man of the hour at Liverpool after unexpectedly becoming a first-team regular under Andoni Iraola this season. Having come back from two loan spells in the Championship last term, not a single supporter had expected Koumas to be a legitimate option for Iraola, but the head coach immediately decided something different.

Suddenly, the 21-year-old is winning friends everywhere, with his goal against LASK on Wednesday the crowning moment of his season so far. To those who have been watching him for longer, though, it is less of a surprise to see him make his mark.

Robbie Fowler counts himself among those long-term fans, and has now revealed that Koumas actually first arrived on the scene as a controlling central midfield player.
