Billy Koumetio, a robust French central defender, was born on 14 November 2002. Now at the ripe age of 22, Koumetio plies his trade at Dundee. A towering figure on the pitch, he stands at 6ft 4in (1.95m) and weighs in at around 12st 10lb (81kg), wearing the number 5 jersey for his club. According to Transfermarkt, his current market valuation is approximately £425k.
Koumetio's journey in football began in the Premier League's Liverpool as a trainee in July 2018.
By July 2022, he secured a loan move from Liverpool to Austria Vienna in the Bundesliga, marking his first overseas venture. During his short stint in Austria in the 2022 - 2023 season, Koumetio made a modest contribution with five first team appearances in league matches. His loan period ended in January 2023, resulting in his return to Liverpool.
Koumetio was on the move again in August 2023, going on loan to Dunkerque in France's Ligue 2. His 2023 - 2024 season at Dunkerque saw him secure eight starts in league matches. However, by February 2024 Koumetio found himself back in England, loaned to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.
In August 2024, Koumetio made a major shift in his career, departing Liverpool and heading to Dundee in Scotland's Premiership for an unknown fee. His 2024 - 2025 debut season at Dundee saw him step onto the pitch 19 times in league matches. Koumetio's run for Dundee continues into the current 2025 - 2026 season, where so far, he has made four appearances.
Apart from his league contributions, Koumetio showcased his surprising attacking finesse in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee, with a goal in just two starts. A testament, no doubt, to his versatility and capacity to exceed expectations on the pitch.
