Billy Koumetio has expressed his strong belief that joining Dundee from Liverpool is the “best step” for his burgeoning career.
The 21-year-old central defender has signed a two-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club, leaving behind a five-year stint at Anfield.
Koumetio, who has been honing his skills in one of England's most prestigious academies in between loans at Blackburn Rovers, Dunkerque, and FK Austria Vienna, is eager to embrace the challenges and opportunities that await him at Dens Park.
Reflecting on his decision, he highlighted the positive experiences of fellow Liverpool player, Owen Beck, who enjoyed two fruitful loan spells at Dundee and is now attracting interest from the likes of Celtic.
This connection has fueled Koumetio's excitement about the potential for growth and development under the guidance of manager Tony Docherty.

“It feels very good to join the club, I am really happy to be here," Koumetio told Dundee TV.
“I believe and have the conviction that this is the best step in my career. I had discussions with the manager, Liverpool and my agent and once we reached an agreement everything went through.
“I discussed with the manager how he wants to play and how he wants me to play and how I can improve as a player.
“I spoke with Owen Beck about his time at Dundee and he loved it, everything he said about the club was so positive.
“All the Liverpool lads all saw how Dundee helped develop Owen. I can’t wait to play in front of the Dundee fans, I love the support that the supporters give, they help us so much to play.”
