Wrexham facing battle with Tom Brady's Birmingham in pursuit of Liverpool youngster while third Championship team plot surprise transfer

Koumas has found himself at the centre of three-way tussle, with the north Wales and west Midlands outfits being joined by Sheffield United in trying to sign him. Wrexham have registered their interest, potentially adding to the ten players already new to their books this summer, including the recent addition of 21-year-old Callum Doyle from Manchester City.

Koumas is a highly-rated forward who enjoyed a successful loan spell at Stoke City last season, valuable experience for both Tom Brady's Birmingham and the Welsh outfit owned by superstar actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Koumas featured twice in Liverpool's pre-season, but only played a total of 57 minutes.

It's only two games in but Wrexham are desperate to establish themselves in the Championship and they'll be hoping to avoid matching an unwanted record. The Red Dragons will be looking to avoid losing their opening three league games of a season for the first time since 1981-82.

It's a crunch time for Koumas, who has to decide between sticking around at Anfield and hoping to maintain a bit-part role. Or would he rather enter the relentless cut-and-thrust of a Championship season, plus the potential of playing in the 'Hollywood derby' between two of his admirers Birmingham and Wrexham in early October?
