This should be a good move for Koumetio as the 21-year-old continues to try and make it to the Liverpool first team regularly.
The centre-back made his first-ever appearance for the Reds in 2020 during a UEFA Champions League against FC Midtjylland; However, players such as Jarell Quansah have overtaken him in the meantime.
Koumetio will be looking to do enough at Blackburn to be included in Liverpool’s pre-season squad and from there he can try and impress the new manager.
