Dundee Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of defender Billy Koumetio from Liverpool, subject to International Clearance.

The central defender joins us on a two-year contract after spending five years at Liverpool.

The 21-year-old Frenchman came through the youth set up at Olympique Lyon, before moving to US Orléans. He then moved to England joining Liverpool at the age of 16 and represented them at Under 18’s,19’s and 21’s level. In July 2022 he joined Austria Vienna on loan playing 11 times. He then had loan spells at USL Dunkerque and Blackburn Rovers.

Koumetio has also represented France at Under 18 and Under 20 level.

After signing for the club Billy said, “It feels very good to join the club, I am really happy to be here. 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.”

Koumetio will wear the number 20 jersey for The Dee. Billy joins fellow Frenchmen Mo Sylla and Ziyad Larkeche at Dundee.

Allez Les Dark Bleus.

Welcome to the Dee Billy.
