The sister of defender Billy Koumetio, Yzoire, has joined the ranks of Liverpool’s women’s squad in a move that keeps the club’s support inside the family.
Koumetio has made two first-team appearances in the five years since moving to Merseyside from French club US Orleans.
The 20-year-old played the first half of the previous season with Austria Vienna before being loaned out to USL Dunkerque in his home France.
