Billy Koumetio, born on November 14, 2002, is a French footballer who, at 23 years of age, is forging a career as a reputable defender. He primarily dons the number 5 jersey for Dundee, playing as a central defender. Koumetio's commanding presence on the field is underlined by his towering height of 6 ft 4 in (1.95 m) and robust weight of 12st 10lb (81 kg).
According to Transfermarkt, Koumetio's market value is in the ballpark of £400k. His journey in the British Isles kicked off in July 2018 when he joined Liverpool as a trainee. He could not establish himself as a first team starter, despite Liverpool's standing as one of the most revered clubs in the Premier League.
Seeking additional exposure, Koumetio moved to Austria's Bundesliga on loan to play for Austria Vienna in July 2022. Season 2022 to 2023 saw him make a humble five appearances for the first team in league matches. This stint, albeit short-lived, ended in January 2023, when he returned to England to rejoin Liverpool.
The following August, he found an opportunity to test his mettle in France with Dunkerque in Ligue 2. On loan again, Koumetio put up a better show, making eight first team appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season. However, another loan move ensued as he switched to Blackburn Rovers, a Championship side based in England in February 2024.
August 2024 marked a significant turning point in his career when he secured a permanent move away from Liverpool. Koumetio joined Dundee in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. His time in Scotland has reaped marked progress, with 19 first team appearances for Dundee in the 2024 - 2025 season and seven already in the current 2025 - 2026 season. As he continues to ply his trade in Scotland's premier football league, the footballing world watches with anticipation to see this young defender's rise.
