It is Koumas who has most recently made headlines for his performance while on international duty with Wales, where he scored his first international goal in their 1-1 draw with Ghana. Welsh legend sings Koumas' praisesFormer Liverpool and Wales player, and current Wales national team manager Craig Bellamy, spoke glowingly about Koumas following his performance against Ghana.

Bellamy said; "I see him as a real future player for Wales who’s going to have a big say, I'm delighted for him."Having played 549 times across nine clubs that included Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, Celtic and Norwich, he is more than qualified to have this opinion on a player's future. Bellamy also played nearly 80 times for his country, so he knows all about the journey ahead for Koumas.

The Wales boss would go on to be clear about just where he sees Koumas contributing the most. He’s such a young player and I’m over the moon he got his goal because he’s deserved it." That is some high praise for a player that has clearly left an impression on his national team boss, and it appears he will have no shortage of opportunities when it comes to his Wales career.
